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.

  1. In the Vector section of the Tools panel, select the Rectangle tool.

  2. Drag on the canvas to draw the rectangle.

  3. 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.
