Shapes with radius corners - enlarging

Post by Hundgubbe »

So I draw a rectangle, say 20mm x 100, then add a 5mm radius to each corner. But then if I cange the size to say 40 x 100, the radiused corners get 'stretched' so aren't 5mm anymore. They then can't be removed using the raduis tool.

Is there a way to do this but keep the original raduis, or indeed remove the new strethed raduis so I can reapply a correct raduis?

Remove the radius with the radius tool before enlarging and add them back in afterwards or, if it's a true rectangle shape (single spans each side with arcs at corners) you can use the rectangle tool to resize it and it will respect the radius set.
