Creating a rounded rectangle
Next, you'll create a rectangle with rounded corners for another part of the illustration.
You'll also round the corners of one of the existing rectangles. This involves working with
Live Corners.
1. Select the Zoom tool (
) in the Tools panel, and click once, on the smaller rect-
angle you created.
2. Click and hold down the mouse button on the Rectangle tool (
), and select the
Rounded Rectangle tool (
) in the Tools panel.
Tip
You can also press and hold the Down Arrow or Up Arrow key to change
the corner radius faster.
Note
The values you see in the measurement label may not be the same as you
see in the figure, and that's okay.
3. Position the pointer below the smaller rectangle. Click and drag down and to the
right until the rectangle has an approximate width of 0.45 inches and a height of
0.2 inches, but do not release the mouse button yet . With the mouse button still
held down, press the Down Arrow key a few times to see the corner radius become
less rounded (the R value in the tool tip). Press the Up Arrow key to see the corner
become more rounded. Don't worry about the R (radius) value in the tool tip since
we can edit it later, and release the mouse button.
