Rounding corners


    The Round Corners command converts the corner points of an object to smooth curves.

    You can apply the Round Corners command as a filter or as an effect (see Using effects.)

To round corners on an object:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To apply the command as a filter, select the object. Then choose Filter > Stylize > Round Corners.
    • To apply the command as an effect, select an object or group in the artwork, or target a group or layer in the Layers palette. (For more information on targeting, see Changing the appearance of artwork using the Layers palette.) Then choose Effect > Stylize > Round Corners. Select Preview if you want to preview the effect.
  2. Enter a value (in the unit of measure specified in the General Preferences dialog box) in the Radius text box to determine the curvature of the rounded curve, and click OK.
