Reshape Tool with Rectangles

[milezee 77]

Hello Forum, using the Reshape tool on various shapes to put radii on corners, doesn't work on rectangles or squares, no handles appear like they do with other shapes, screenshot attached of shapes that work and rectangle that doesn't. Works fine with other shapes, just not rectangles!!  Is this intended, a bug ??

it's been like that forever. I tend to do a quick decompose->compose and then you can reshape.

use "convert to polygon"

@RussU thanks for confirming Russ, thought it was me being basic for a while there. I guess it's a bug that for some reason won't be fixed

@TKA yeh that works too 👍, definitely a step you shouldn't have to take though, should just work like any other shape 🤔

I think there's something unique about "Rectangles" (as opposed to 4-sided polygons) and that's why they stay as rectangles, rather than a poly....  but I can't remember what exactly that is.

For rounding edges on rectangles you can also use the fillet tool. For me the fillet tool seems to work quicker, never knew it could be done this way ...

 

But anyway, a bug is a bug is a bug ...  😉

@halfcouple yeh fillet tool works too, rectangles and squares must be 'special' 🤣, its one those 1st world problems that make you scratch your head 🤔😂

Have you tried using the rounded rectangle tool?

@mac@stairworks yeh it's ok for some things, 👍

Add convert to polygon to your right click menu - makes it a super quick job.
