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
Looking at X6, the units are explicitly shown, so no clues from there.
16 sounds like its most likely to be either mm or pixels, but I would expect it to be the radius of the corner rather than any other dimension.
Though if it is the radius, why does it not say radius instead of roundness?
HI.
The vba equivalent in the help describes it simply as radius:
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
