Is it possible to round the corners on a custom shape similar to how you would on a rectangle shape?
I created an arrow shape, but I want the corners to be rounded.

It would only take a moment to build it using the Rectangle shape tool.

I used the Move tool > align to center them.

If you add a point to each leg, equidistant from the corner, and then delete the corner point, you will be left with an open shape. Click on one of the end points to pick up the path, and then the other to close it.

And merge the paths in the Options bar

That's less than a minutes work, and you can save it to your Shapes library
