Draw basic rounded rectangles
You specify corner roundness in either percentage or pixels.
When specifying roundness in pixels, the maximum value is half the
length of the shortest rectangle side; higher values have no increased
effect.
In the Vector
section of the Tools panel, select the Rectangle tool.
Drag on the canvas to draw the rectangle.
In the Property inspector, choose percentage or pixels from
the pop-up menu to the right of the Roundness box. Set the percentage
using the slider or enter a value from 0 to 100 in the box. If you
chose pixels, you can enter up to half the length of the shortest
rectangle side.

Press the Up or Right arrow keys
while dragging to get rounded corners. Use Down or Left Arrow keys
to reduce the curve.
Note: If the Property
inspector is at half height, click the expander arrow in the lower
right corner to expand it to full height.
