To change the corner radius of a rounded rectangle 1 Select the rounded rectangle. A round handle appears near the lower-right corner of the rectangle. 2 Drag the handle to change the corner diameter. You can also use the “Diag” setting in the Object Specs palette to alter the shape. Drawing with Snap options Snap options can help you draw objects in precise positions relative to other objects. For example, you can use Snap options to draw lines that are parallel or perpendicular to other lines, to draw circles con- tained inside other objects, and to start drawing from the center points of objects. You can also draw guide lines that run to a vanish- ing point for illustrating perspective. Snap options appear in the context menu, in a Snap submenu. You can select Snap options when you use the following tools: Line, Smart Lines, Oval, Circle 3 Points, Circle Radius, Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Arc, Arc 3 Points, Arc Radius, Curve, Polygon, Text, Spiral, GridMaker, and EasyShapes. Snap options are most useful when you draw with the Line tool. You can draw lines to be parallel, tangent, or perpendicular to other objects. You can also snap lines to start at the center of an object, and constrain lines to the interiors of objects. Snap options (especially the Center and Included options) are also useful for drawing ovals, rectangles, and arcs. For these objects, some Snap options constrain the first point you draw; other Snap options constrain the start and end points when you draw an object.
