Hello this might be stupid but here it goes! How do we turn a circle into a square in illustrator? I know the other way around but not turn a circle into a square or a triangle, just other shapes!

Correct answer Bill Silbert

When you apply the effect the Shape Options dialog will appear. In there choose Absolute and put in the exact dimensions of the original circle.

Apply the Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle.

      Effect > Convert to shape > Rectangle. Put in your dimensions there and make sure it's absolute.

      Not sure why this was so hard to explain!!!!
