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.
