Default Control radius of rounded corners

I looked at protection, too, from two avenues

1. Right click top item (file name) in Drawing Explorer, go to Protect
Document. All boxes unchecked. Check them all, click OK. Then
repeat, except uncheck all boxes.

2. In the diagram, Select All, Format-Protection. All boxes
unchecked. Check all boxes, click OK. Repeat, excpet uncheck all
boxes.

However, for a virgin blank document, the corner rounding buttons do
work. Very strange....

Other than guarding the rounding, I'm not aware of any other protection that
might keep a normal rectangle from having rounded corners.

If you want to slave it to the width and/or height, then you can enter a
formula in the shapesheet. *Go to line format section, and in the rounding
cell, you can enter a formula like =0.3*MIN(Width,Height). *This will take
the lesser of the two dimensions and scale the rounding by factor of 0.3.


Thanks, Wapper...unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the
rounding area to work.

select the shape(s)
menu Format - Line
and select from the rounding area, you acn set a rounding radius
manually.
