Drawing rectangles with curved corners
You can precisely edit the curvature of rectangle corners by using the Object panel. The corners of
a rectangle can be uniform, or you can edit corners individually by unlocking them in the Object
panel. Locked corners edit uniformly, even if some of the remaining corners are unlocked.
You can also edit corners manually by using the subselect tool to drag radius handles of a
rectangle.
To draw rectangles with curved corners:
1
In the Tools panel, if the Rectangle tool is not showing, select it from its pop-up menu.
2
Double-click the Rectangle tool.
3
In the Rectangle Tool dialog box, enter a value or use the slider to adjust the corner radius,
from 0 for a standard 90° corner to 100 for extremely curved corners.

Click OK.

Draw the rectangle.
To adjust the corners of a selected rectangle uniformly:
