hi all,
although the interactive corner feature is really useful, unfortunately i cannot use it anymore. My problem is, that i can't see the corner-widget for all corners anymore. "Not anymore" because everthing worked fine and probably i made some changes in the settings or changed my workflow, and now i can't figure out where the issue is.
So you can see in the screenshot, that for some corners the widget is visible, for some not.
I already tried to play with the settings for corner-widget and also tried to convert the object into shape - nothing worked.
What is also interesting: sometimes when i try to convert an object into shapes i just get a message "object was not converted".
The issue mainly appears on objects wich i converted before (object -> path -> outline stroke). Objects which are created out of the rectangle tool, show all corner widgets.
This one is created via pen tool -> object -> path -> outline stroke:
This one is created via rectangle tool:
So, does anyone have an idea where my issue is?
Thanks for your help!
Thanks very much for the screenshots, they are so very helpful and wish posters would do that more often. Adobe disables corner widgets when the item is too small of which your view at 400% suggests is the issue.
Move towards max
and as likely already mentioned you should see view >> hide corner widget. If not choose on view >> show corner widget to show.
I've had this issue for years and could never find a working solution. The scaling "trick" seems to fix it every time now, I cannot believe it was that simple. Thank you so much for this.
I commonly have this problem too. For me, what has usually worked is:
1. there are two points on the corner (when I have outlined a path, this commonly happens.) I just delete the extra point and the live corner will show up (sometimes, there are multiple points all on top of each other, make sure you delete them all!)
2. The object is too small, so I just scale up and make my corners how I like them then size back down.
I was encountering a super strange situation that i wanted to document here for anyone that is struggling (been several hours of digging to figure this out.) I scaled a set of paths that all had corner anchor points (and corner widgets), and this got rid of the corner widgets.
i reverted to an old version of the document with corner widgets available, then scaled via direct selection tool - this confirmed to remove corner widget on anchor points (and converted each single original corner to tw

I noticed that you can't scale an image AFTER you've adjusted the corners without losing the bottom widgets (on a rectangle). Scale the image first, then scale the corners and the widgets will stay.

i reverted to an old version of the document with corner widgets available, then scaled via direct selection tool - this confirmed to remove corner widget on anchor points (and converted each single original corner to two smooth anchor points)
undid the change then scaled via the object selection tool - this kept the anchors as corners, and corner widgets as expected

Adobe, is it really that difficult to make the corner widget work consistantly? Trouble shooting Illustrator problems is like trying to back engineer withcraft

The scale thing nor the handle display was my problem. It was the pref below saying Hide C. Widget on angle greater than... I set it to 105 degrees from its default of 3 degrees.

I've just figured it out.
For me it was happening because there were two vertices right on top of each other.
Click select (Not drag selection) the vertice in the corner you're having a problem with the Direct Selection tool and move it, there will be most likely two points right on top of each other. So move one out of the way and delete it and it should show the Corner Widget.
