Working with Live Corners

Live Corners

You can select one or more corner anchor points in a simple path, or multiple anchor points across several paths in your
artwork. When selected, a Live Corners widget appears next to each corner point. Dragging a widget causes the corner
point to change shape, into one of three available corner types. The three available corner types are Round, Inverted
Round, and Chamfer.

The Live Corners widget

The Live Corners widget is enabled when you select the Direct Selection tool and you have a path selection containing
corner points. A Live Corners widget is displayed next to a corner when you select:

• One or more path(s) that have corners.

• One or more rounded corners

Corners widgets, when paths are selected (in this case, two opposite rounded paths)

Dragging the Live Corners widget with the Direct Selection Tool is the easiest way to convert a corner into a round
corner. Also, when you hover the mouse on a Live Corners widget, the corresponding round corner is highlighted
(shown below).
