ROUNDING CORNERS

HEY ER'1!!

is there a way to round the corners of your pages? i am making a license plate template for future use and would like my corners rounded off like they are on a real license plate.

  • In DRAW, draw your rectangle, as normal. Then on the property bar, look for the "Corner Round" icon, click on that while the rectangle is selected. Then with one of the spinners (pointed to by my poor red arrow), run the rounding number up/down for the amount of curve on the corner.

        I've been using the Fillet/Scallop/Chamfer Docker more than the rounded
        corners option these days. That Docker will work on all objects and
        "internal" segments (like an inner "point" on a star). The "rounded corners"
        option will only work on an "original" rectangle object. If you resize said
        rectangle disproportionately from the original object, the rounded corners
        will not be "true", they'll be stretched out. Also, if you conver the
        rectangle to curves, you will not have the rounded corners functionality at
        all.
        • In X5 the rounded corners proportionality anomaly has been fixed as far as I can tell.

          You can "stretch" or resize the rectangle all you like and the rounded corner (fillet) still looks to me as it should;
          whereas before X5 and without using a special macro to fix this in an earlier version you were hooped...
          had to start again and draw the rectangle at the size you intended before apply a fillet.

        Well, realy you can't round the corners of your page, only can create a rectangle around the page (doube clik OVER the rectangle tool) then round the corners of the rectangle, but is not the page
