Radius All Corners

Post by seanm »

Radius All Corners Gadget

This Gadget will allow you to apply a radius to internal and external corners on your selected vectors.

How to use:

1. Select vectors you wish to apply a radius to the internal and/or externals corners. If you wish to add a radius to a text object, you must first convert this to curves by selecting the text and selecting this option from the right click menu.

2. Go to Gadgets on the software's toolbar and select "Radius All Corners"

3. Decide whether you would like to add a radius to either the internal, external corners or both and enter the radius value you would like to add to each. If you only would like to add a radius to one set of corners, then leave the other set with a value of 0.

4. Press ok to run the gadget or cancel to exit.

The gadget will create you a new set of radiused vectors on a layer called "Radius Corners". The gadget will also colour these vectors orange to help differentiate between vectors. Please note you cannot undo the result of this Gadget which is why we do not replace the original vectors.

You can download the gadget from this link:

Well done Vectric and thank you for listening. I have loaded and tried this gadget and the radius function is just what I needed.

There is however a slight mod required or maybe I need some advise on how to better use Aspire.
Presently the gadget leaves the existing vectors there so maybe if there was a checkbox in the gadget that says "delete original vectors" could be added?????

Regardless, I am grateful for this gadget.

Excellent gadget & thanks to Vectric staff for listening.

Is it possible add a cheque box "delete original vectors"? or is there an easy way to do this manually?

Is there any chance this will work with version 9?
If not, is there likely to be a version 9 compatible gadget any time soon?

Thanks,

Assuming you have a previous installation if you copy the "Radius_All_Corners" folder from "Public Documents/Vectric Files/Gadget" folder for the 8.5 version to 9 then you'll have it working in 9.

Thanks Adrian. Does this apply to all/most Gadgets?

Yes, until the installers are updated to v9 that's the only way to use the gadgets from the gadget site that I know of.
