How Do You Round Edges in Adobe Animate?

You can round edges in Adobe Animate primarily using the Rectangle tool. Here's how:

Using the Rectangle Tool

Rounding edges in Adobe Animate is straightforward, especially with the Rectangle tool.

Steps to Round Edges:

1. Select the Rectangle Tool: Choose the Rectangle tool from the toolbar.
2. Locate the Round Rectangle Modifier: In the Properties panel, find the "Round Rectangle" modifier.
3. Enter Corner Radius: Click the modifier and type in the desired radius value for rounded corners. A value of 0 will create square corners.
4. Draw on the Stage: Click and drag on the stage to draw your rectangle with rounded corners.
   • You can adjust the roundness while dragging by pressing the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys.

Example:

Step	Action	Result
1	Select Rectangle Tool	Rectangle tool active
2	Click "Round Rectangle" modifier	Modifier options open in the Properties panel
3	Enter a radius value (e.g., 10)	Corner radius set to 10
4	Draw rectangle on stage	Rectangle with corners rounded to a radius of 10
5 (Optional)	Press Up Arrow while dragging	Corner radius increases during draw
6 (Optional)	Press Down Arrow while dragging	Corner radius decreases during draw

Key Points

• A corner radius value of zero (0) results in a standard rectangle with square edges.
• Adjust the radius value to control the amount of curvature for the rounded edges.
• Use the arrow keys while dragging for real-time adjustments.
