How to edit rounded rectangles' corners

New Here ,
Sep 22, 2016 Sep 22, 2016

I've searched all over, but I can't find an answer. I'm looking for this panel:

but I only see this in my Illustrator:

How do I change the rounded rectangle's properties? I just want to adjust the corners to be more rounded or less rounded. I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC.

Please select the rounded rectangle in your file and then in the layers panel check what kind of object is listed. Is it a <path> or a <rectangle>?

Hey Monica,

I have the same issue but I just checked my layers according to your instructions. All my shapes are created as Paths! How do I change this?

And what is your problem? Or your version?

Maybe Object > SHape > Convert to Rectangle will solve your issue, but that depends on what your issue and version is.

I have CS6. I do not have Shape as an option in the Object menu.
Does this mean rectangle properties aren't available for CS6?

I want to create a round edge rectangle and edit the radius after it has been created. How do I do that?

For your version, create a normal rectangle and use Effect > Stylize > Round Corners.

You can change it later in the Apperance panel.

If the object is a rectangle to which Live Corners have been applied, the Transform panel will look like this:

If the object is a path that was not drawn with the rectangle tool, the panel will look like this:

To address the title of your question, to have the ability to adjust rounded corners, start either by drawing a square cornered rectangle or by drawing a path with square corners.

If you select a square corned rectangle with the Selection tool, you will see Live Corner widgets. You can drag a widget to adjust the radius on all corners.

If the object has been drawn with a tool other than the Rectangle tool, as long as it has corners, you can select it with the Selection tool. Then switch to the Direct Selection tool to see the corner widgets.

Check if you are using the latest version 2015.3.1

You may also check the Show/Hide Corner Widget in the View menu.

In CS6. If you draw a regular rectangle you can then apply the Round Corners effect.

This remains "Live" and can be adjusted by selecting the Round corners effect in the Appearance panel
