Creating Corners

You can create corners (arc tangent to two curves) between two lines.

Before you begin: Create a rectangle.

About Creating Corners
  1. From the Sketch section of the action bar, click Corner .
  2. From the Tools Palette, select an appropriate trimming option.

    Tip:
    • You can also hover over the elements and create corners using the Free Hand Selection option from the Tools Palette. You can select any one of the trim element options along with the free hand selection mode.
    • When you click the Corner command again in the same session, the previous state of the free hand selection mode is restored.

  3. Select the two connected lines.

    The two lines are joined by the rounded corner which moves as you move the pointer. This lets you vary the dimensions of the corner.

    Tip: You can also:
    • Select the lines first and then the command.
    • Select one or more points. Ensure that each point is formed by the intersection of only two lines. That is, each point is the end point of only two lines.



  4. Optional: Click Keep as default for next to keep the same radius value when creating other corners.
  5. In Tools Palette, specify the corner radius value.

    You can also click when the required corner dimension is achieved. Both the lines are trimmed at the points of tangency with the corner.



    Note: When you create corners on multiple vertices:
    • You can see the preview of the corner at these vertices.
    • All the corners have the same radius. To achieve different radii, select each vertex separately or edit the constraints.
    • If any of the vertices is invalid (intersection of more than two lines) then corner is created on the valid vertices only.
