rounded corner in corel draw

[eonedila]

Single side rounded corner in corel draw? I have been using corel draw software for the past 8 years.. i started working with corel 5. now i am using corel x4.. i have a doubt in corel draw sometimes i am using rounded corner effects in corel it has a function to curve a corner. even though its a squire shape we can blend a single corner only.. i was using it but i don't know what function i was used.. pls help me.

See image below. If you unlock the padlock in the center of the corner radius boxes you can put a different size radius on all corners or no radius at all.

If you want to round all corners the same:
Draw a square or rectangle the size you want it.
Click the node tool
Drag one of the nodes until the corners are the way you want them.

This only works on a polygon shape and will change all four corners equally. If you want to only change one corner, or if your corners need to be an exact radius then use the fine example shown above.

If you want to manually edit one or more of the corners of your polygon, you will need to first right click on the object and "convert to curves" then you can click the node tool and edit to your hearts content.

Hope this helps.

My question here is that if I have an uneven box, say 6 X 12 and use the radius corner tool the radius's do not look even(true)

I usuallt do my own with the 3 point curve.. Is it just me?

There is another icon next to the radius boxes. This will change the "relative corner scaling" It is usually selected by default which means it will scale the radius according to the size of the drawing. If you uncheck this, your corners should look true.

Also, if you are trying to put a radius that is too large on a drawing, Corel will scale it to fit. So, if you have a square that is 10x10, and you radius the top left at 8 and the bottom left at 5, it will give a very distorted result. If you radius the top left and the bottom left at 5, it will make a perfect round (half circle). Anything less than 5 will give a nice rounded corner and then a straight side between the next one.

If you do a radius and then skew, stretch or size the object, the radius will also change from its original. This also may give a distorted radius or one that is no longer true.

Hope this helps.

Lots of good replies, but I still think the OP is just a link-whore-posted to pull up hits.
