Setting the Rectangle Properties for an Object

After you add an object to a frame, you can adjust its corners as needed.

How to Set the Rectangle Properties for an Object

  1. Open a frame that has an object added to it.
  2. Double-click the object. The Object Properties window pane opens.
  3. Expand the Rectangle section.
  4. In the Corner Radius field, set the amount of curve for the rectangular edges of the object. The higher the number, the more curve will be applied to the edges.
  5. Click Save the active file. to save your work.

Note You cannot change the corner radius on image objects.

Note The Rectangle section of the Object Properties window pane also includes anchors. See Setting Object Anchors.

Note A very useful tool when working with objects is a palette, which lets you store objects for future use. For example, if you are including callouts with some frames, chances are that you'll want to use the same look and feel for all of the callouts you create. Instead of creating new callouts from scratch each time or copying them from other frames, you can create an initial model callout and then add it to a palette. Then, when you're ready to use a callout in another frame, you can just drag your model callout from the palette to the frame (and make minor changes, such as the text, from there). See Palettes.
