Rounded corners - change style

[icd6512675]

Hello,

I am trying to round the corners, as you can see in the attachment, I would like to round the corners, and not round everything, like illustrator do it automatically.

Is there a possibility to just round the corner, and not everything?

This is what I want to achive:

This is how it looks like originally in Illustrator:

This is how it looks like after I select rounding: I've selected the same rounding radius, the first picture is from a CAD program to draw .dwg files.

Thank you!

Select only one corner point with the Direct Selection tool (white arrow) to round only that corner.

I may be misunderstanding entirely, and if so I apologize, but are you trying to recreate the CAD drawing? Are the CAD and Ai drawing at about the same scale? If so, the bevel is much too high and to the left in your first Ai drawing, so applying that large a radius causes the two curves to meet, as A, below, rather than leave a straight portion between them, as at B.

Hello, and thank you, for all your answeres.

As you can see I have attached a circle with radius = 2,4mm to the CAD drawing and also to the AI drawing.

If I select my whole path and go to stylize round corners and apply 2,4mm radius, you can see what happens. It's a much bigger radius.

If I select one corner with the direct selector tool and drag the little point that allows me to set the radius, and I apply 2,4mm radius - it's the correct rounding.

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working as I would expect? And can anyone tell me, why I can't just round one corner with the stylize round corners tool? I am only able to do that by dragging that little point in the corner.

CAD with circle = 2,4mm radius

AI with circle = 2,4mm radius and stylize - round corner - 2,4mm radius

AI with drag and set 2,4mm radius to one corner

Thank you!

Stylize > Round Corners is an old Effect and applies to all corners.

To round one corner, use the Direct Selection Tool and either drag the widget or enter a value in the Control Panel at the top (View menu > Control Panel).

That works great, thank you very much!

Can you tell me why "Stylize - Round Corners" and Round Corners via direct selection, has different meaning of the radius? So why is 2.4mm radius not 2.4mm radius if I use Stylize - Round Corners? It seems a little bit strange to me .

Good to hear that worked.

But I cannot see any difference between the two.

It will only show when the angles of corners are not 90°.

Different way of calculating. It's possbiel to change the calculation of live corners so it works the same way as the effect.

Ah! I did not think about that, Monika.
