How do you switch off or disable Live Corners in Illustrator?

Pour tous les français coincés avec ce problème et qui n'ont pas un bac+5 "compréhension de traductions foirées", l'option est dans le menu affichage et s'appelle en toute logique "widget masquer l'angle".

Evidemment.

Object > Shape > Expand Shape

You don't need any 3rd party software to disable this feature.

Hi all, this is probably too late, you don't necessarily have to turn them off, my issue was the scaling which, when I scaled the object it messed up the round corners. If you go to preferences, there's a scale round corners checkbox, doesn't turn them off, but changed the annoying behaviour of readjusting the corners as the object was scaled, hope it helps someone.

****FOUND A FIX!!!!**** Ok so turning off the widget is just a bandaid on a bullet wound. I found the solution today and I want to share it with everyone. Here's the step by step to TURNING OFF Live shapes. This will prevent Illustrator from creating live shapes by default. you'll go back to normal shapes in which you can reset the bounding box etc.

1. Quit Illustrator CC

2. (On a mac) click on "GO" on the top menu bar of OSX

3. Click "Option" while on "GO" This will make the "Library" folder appear

4. In "Library" scroll down to "Preferences"

5. Go to "Illustrator CC (Or Illustrator 20 or higher) "Settings"
6. In the "en_US" folder you'll find a file called "Adobe Illustrator Prefs" >Open it with textedit

7. Once the file is open hit (Command "F") and type in "Live" (No quotes)

8. Look for the line of code that reads "CreateLiveShapes 1"

9. Change the value of this code from "1" to "0"

10. Save the file and close

That's it! Keep in mind that you ever delete your preferences file you'll have to repeat this process

Hi guys,
Finally I found the solution to this stupid problem:

• If you prefer not to see the Live Corners widget when you select the Direct Selection Tool, you can turn it off from View > Hide Corner Widget.
• If you want to continue seeing the Live Corners widget when you select the Direct Selection Tool, click View > Show Corner Widget.

How to work with Live Corners in Illustrator

Go to:

Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds. (Uncheck this last feature)

Then go to: View >Hide bounding box. This will disable the live corners.

hope that helps!

When you make your rectangle, look up at the command panel at the top and click on 'Transform', then click 'Scale Corners'. Now you'll be able to resize your shape and the corners as well. Hope that helps.

I was having this problem and I just went to:

object>shape>expand rectangle

This made it so I could resize my rectangle without having the corners change shape.

I love not having the "round corners widget" in AI CS5. I'm trying to think why I'd want to pay Adobe $50 a month so I can turn off the new features.

I can't stand this feature either.  And not a peep on how to turn these off?  It's making my work twice as hard and three times as time consuming.
