Cornering shapes

Ideal for rounding corners on geometric shapes or on closed shapes drawn with the Pen Tool, the Corner Tool lets you selectively apply cornering as and when you need it. A pre-requisite is that the corner must be a sharp corner, so geometric shapes such as polygons, stars, and triangles are great candidates for corner rounding.

Using an on-screen red "shaping" ring you can control the size of the corner by dragging; the corner will shape itself around the ring's circumference for precise and perfect results. You'll see the ring only as you drag from a sharp corner node.

To create a rounded corner:

Select the Corner Tool.
(Optional) On the context toolbar, select a different Corner Type instead of Corner Rounded as default, e.g. Corner Concave.
Hover over the sharp corner node to be edited and drag inwards or outwards. A ring is shown around which the corner will be automatically adjusted. The more you drag, increasing the radius, the more pronounced the corner.

To edit a corner:

Select the shape.
With the Corner Tool active, click on the sharp corner node. (Although the corner is already rounded, the original shape's outline is retained.)
Drag the center of the ring to resize the corner as needed.
