Good vid, I think you can do a simple rectangle or square radius on all 4 corners using the offset tool and then resize the shape back to the original measurements, seems to work as I checked it recently. its faster this way using shape properties though.
Hi Carl, thanks for the video. Question since I’m stuck. I make a square or rectangle, I click the radius button, keep it on 15.0, I move my cursor onto the corner of the box and it doesn’t change or let me click the corner. Not sure why, so I’m stuck at 3:23 , lol. (Lightburn 1.1.04, windows) Edit: figured it out! Squares that are too small can’t since the radius wants to curve past the other point. Work on a bigger square then shrink later I guess 🤷🏻♂️. Now to finish the video
This was spot on - actually what I ended up here looking for... so thanks! I did also find that I can put in smaller values (decimals) to work with smaller shapes which seemed to solve the problem as well.
When i import 2 SVG rectangles with rounded corners from Inkscape and i change the size of both at the same time the radii are not the same. Is there any option for this?
Trying to create negative corner radius on a rectangle 2.25” x 1” , but the shape properties has a minimum radius of .500” , am I missing something , tried typing in smaller radius and nope , won’t work
Did you follow this tutorial? You create whatever size circle you want and use boolean subtract to create the negative radius. th-cam.com/video/YjNVVnE1xZU/w-d-xo.html
Carl , I did follow the video and finally figured out the command is not Shift/Control as the video said ,but is Shift/Command , not sure if he was working on a PC or Mac as I am only familiar with Mac , most videos give you the commands for PC and Mac , which was most likely an oversight , thanks for contacting me and keep the great videos coming 👏
Hi there. This is an older video so there have definitely been updates but what parts of the tool are you unable to use? I use radius all the time and I'm not aware of anything obviously broken. Is there a thread somewhere on the forum discussing or a bug request somewhere I can reference to understand any limitations I may not be aware of? I can always publish updated videos. Thanks.
@@thetinkerverse I have an object I want to make a radius on a corner, I click the object it's highlighted I click radius and try to find the corner and it can't see it, it will not see the corner so it will cause the radius
Yep, as of 1.5 they added the ability to drag a radius on polygons. Note that as of 1.6 if you need to press the CTRL (WIN) or Command (MAC) for the dot to show up. Look for a small blue dot on your polygons. You can drag that to achieve corner radius and depending on the direction you drag, you will get either a positive or negative radius. This video is back from before 1.0 so there have been a lot of improvements since then.

Interesting, but can you do negative radius from the button on the left, on the hexagon for example, like you did on the rectangle?
How can I make a an infinite symbol but have the center of the Infiniti symbol where they meet become a radius and not a 90 angle?
Are you asking for something that looks like this? imgur.com/a/LLtldUF
@@thetinkerverselike the center of a bicycle chain link. Where the center curves like an hour glass
@@thomascristaldi9303 Like this then: imgur.com/a/4EYNUU9
@@thetinkerverseabsolutely. I’m trying to make one roughly 4”X8”
If you put in a negative number will the radius invert like in the shape properties? Thanks for the video. Jason
Hi Jason. I just created a quick video response to your question here: th-cam.com/video/YjNVVnE1xZU/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if that helps. Thanks!
Carl Fisher Thank you! That’s a huge help!! Jason

I'll take a look when I'm at that computer and see if I can duplicate.

@@bradouellette6558 Ahh, sorry about that. I'm not a Mac guy and always forget that it's not always the same commands. Thanks for the follow up.
No problem , just wish there was some way to know what size circle you are creating , I ended up with 4 different size radius 😂
So, I’m using Lightburn 0.9.20. Shape properties does not give me that option anymore.
It's only available to the basic rectangle shape. If you're doing any other shape you'll need to use the Radius option as shown starting around 2:30
I have version 1.5.01 they still have not fix this thing too many can't use the tool here and here

You can do this with the mouse, I just randomly did this but can't work out how I did it lol

@@thetinkerverse Ah great, thank you for the fast reply, I'm going to take look right now..!
@@thetinkerverse Brilliant, found it, many thanks 🙏
When I do this i get a two headed red arrow. Won't radius it. ???
Wow.. I am having the exact same issue... cannot figure it out
Ihad to make the graphic bigger. Once I did that it went the right way. Then i reduced it back down to size. No clue why.
@@JEff-ke6mt
If I import a vector file, did lightburn convert the dxf to something? it won’t let me add a radius
