The corner radius determines the
roundness of the rectangle’s corners.
To change the default corner radius, choose
Edit> Preferences > General (Windows) or Illustrator >
Preferences > General (Mac OS), and enter a
new value for Corner Radius. Alternatively, select the Rounded Rectangle
tool, click in the document window, and enter a new value for Corner
Radius. The default radius applies only to new rounded rectangles
you draw, not to existing rounded rectangles.
To change the corner radius while dragging with the Rounded
Rectangle tool, press the Up Arrow key or Down Arrow key. When the
corners are the desired roundness, release the key.
To create square corners while dragging with the Rounded
Rectangle tool, press the Left Arrow key.
To create the most rounded corners while dragging with
the Rounded Rectangle tool, press the Right Arrow key.
