Greetings all,
If I am laser cutting a square and I need the corners to be rounded to a 3/8" radius, how do I do that?
I know HOW to round the corners, I just don't how to tell how rounded it is. Having the #11 in that box means nothing to me but it looks about right? :P
As always, any help is most greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Becky

You can turn your grid on and count squares.
You could draw a 3/4" diameter circle and overlay it.
Do you have X3? I think there's a chamfer feature in that version.
Any of those helpful?
I think those numbers represent the percentage of half the smallest length. For a 2" square, a 1/4" radius would be 25.

Carl is right if you have X3 you can just choose from the dockers menu the fillet, scallop,chamfer fly out menu and then just put in .375 and press OK and your done.

Becky;
If you don't have X3, there's a macro in the CorelDraw Macro section of this forum that will allow you to set the radii of a rectangle by an absolute value. See: 5097.1

Becky,
What version of Corel are you running?
