I have rounded off the corners of a rectangle, however I have no idea what the unit is? All it says is corner roundness is 16. Doesn't give me a unit, degrees don't work, radians don't seem right, arc length would be way to long as i have a part that is 3inches by 5 inches. I have found nothing that shows me a unit or anything? Can someone pleas help, as this is hooked up to a laser cutter. I need to convert these drawings over to solid works for documentation. Without doing so, I won't be able to get apropos drawing
Hi thank you for the help. Here is more of what I tried. I still can't seem to get it.
I would agree it should be radius. However the exact dimension of my triangle is 3.255 inches wide by 5.505 inches tall. So a radius of 16, if it's inches would be out of the possibility, as well as for an arc length. Also, I thought maybe angle, however that doesn't work either. Reason being, i drew a perfect 2in x 2in square and entered 90 for the roundnes. If this were infact in degrees then that would have created a perfect circle and it did not. I also thought it might be radians, hence it being unitless. However, the conversion is 180 degrees/pi*radians. So (16 Radians*180 degrees)/(pi*radians)= almost 917 degrees. So that would be almost 3 full turns, which makes no sense. I read someone said pixels, that is possible, but that would make it litterally impossible to measure. This is killing me! If anyone has any other ideas please let me know? I drew some stuff up to get the best possible radius I could, however I am almost positive it is not exact, and my margin for error is not much.
Hi icehot,
when entering 100 as roundness value of a square you get a circle, right?
As far as I understand that value in the older CorelDRAW / Corel DESIGNER versions was referring to % of the (half) side length.
Max. value is 100 which means the whole (shorter) side will be round.
A roundness value of 10 in a 2 inch square should result in a 0.1 inch round corner radius (10% of 50% side length).
Please note that the round corners in Corel DESIGNER 12 / CorelDRAW 12 change when you scale or stretch the object.When stretching the rectangle after initial drawing the corner roundness will be adjusted to an ellipsoid corner.
Best regards,Klaus
