Control radius of rounded corners
Is there a way to control the radius of rounding for the rounded
corners of a rectangle? I opened up the shape sheet, and it looks like it might be controlled in the "Geometry 1" table. Ideally, I'd like the rounding radius to scale with the minimum of the height and width, but manually specifying it would be just as good. Thanks. |

Control radius of 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. Enjoy!

Hi, Paul, The resulting menu shows a perfectly pointy corner. Even pressing some of the rounded corners and clicking Apply doesn't round the corner of the rectangle. Would your method be for lines/interconnects rather than shapes/rectangles? |

That looks rather funny! -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. Electronics for Visio http://www.electronics.sandrila.co.uk/ |

Both Paul H.'s and my method should work. Are you trying this on a rectangle
that you've already tried to alter? You might want to try a fresh shape. Other than guarding the rounding, I'm not aware of any other protection that might keep a normal rectangle from having rounded corners.

Since you refer to Geometry1, it appears you are within the shapesheet. Each shape can have only one rounding value, so the value is stored in a seperate Section called Line Format. The cell is the last one in the group and is called Rounding. If you set the value to 5in for a 10in square, you will get a circle. John... |

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....

However, it doesn't work with shape File-Shapes-BlockDiagram-BasicShapes-RoundedRectangle. The rounding is not affected either Format-Lines-RoundCorners, nor Window-ShowShapeSheet-LineFormat-Rounding. Though this particular shape doesn't have it, I noticed that the original shape that didn't obey the rounding buttons had telling rows in the Geometry1 table -- basically, a series of alternating rows labelled "Arc To" and "Line To". Perhaps this original shape has the rounding hard coded in as Arc To parameters. That doesn't explain why the fresh "RoundedRectangle" doesn't obey the rounding buttons. |
