In-Depth Information
One of the most powerful features of Live Corners is that it will recognize
editable corners in any object, even if you created the object before there
were Live Corners. You can create the object with geometric tools (Rectangle,
Star, Polygon, etc.) or with drawing tools, such as the Pen and Pencil tools.
Use the Direct Selection tool to select an entire object and display the Live
Corner widgets on every corner that is editable. You can reshape selected
corners interactively by dragging on one of the visible widgets.
If the entire path is selected, dragging on one widget modifies every corner
equally. To restrict your edits to only some corners, select corner anchors
individually with the Direct Selection tool, (or select them with the Lasso
tool, but then switch back to the Direct Selection tool to display widgets
again). If you drag on a corner widget and a corner path turns red, your
corner anchor point has run into another anchor point, and you won't be able
to drag your widget any further unless you're willing to move the anchor
point blocking your corner anchor.
Dragging on one widget alters all selected corner anchor points—when the limit for
rounding is reached as the corner anchor meets another
anchor, the corner paths turn red (top). The Relative set-
ting alters the corner shape (bottom).
