Activity Forums Adobe Illustrator Converting Rounded Corners to Editable Paths

  • Converting Rounded Corners to Editable Paths

    Posted by Eric Jordan on February 22, 2015 at 7:38 am

    I’m curious if there is an easy way to convert rounded corners (Stylize > Round Corners) to an editable path.

    I would like to be able to adjust/edit the rounding points after I’ve performed the effect on a shape.

    Thanks to anyone with some insight.

    Cheers, Eric

    There is indeed an easy way to convert your rounded corners (“Stylize > Round Corners…”) to an editable path.

    Once you are happy with the effect, go to “Object > Expand Appearance”. Done.

    If you are using the new rounded corners by dragging the little circle inside the corner of Illustrator CC versions, you go to “Object > Expand…” select all the check boxes and click OK, then ungroup the result and delete the objects you do not want.

    I am a simple creative professional that can get my Adobe suite and a few other creative tools to do what I want. Barely. 🙂
