    Default Corner Radius Units? mm / pixels / percent

    What are the units when adding rounded corners to a rectangle (or other quickshape)?

    I need to draw a playing card (63mm x 88mm) with a corner radius of 5mm, but Xara seems not to allow units when specifying the corner value.

    I have eye-balled the curve for now, by placing a 5mm circle in the corner and adjusting the curvature value to match it, but perhaps there is a better work around?

    Thanks

    I think you have found the best work around.

    It would be great curve size would be expressed in your default unit,
    may be you can add this to dear xara.

    I believe the current solution doesn't use units, but is instead represented as a percentage of the size of the shortest side of the rectangle. If you draw a 100px square and a 500px square and apply the default curvature, the bigger square looks like it has way larger curves.

    I also agree that being able to decouple that and specify the radius as some number of units instead would be pretty handy.
    This signature would be seven words long if it was six words shorter.

    ... and while your waiting you can always scan in a high resolution image of a card and eyeball the curve of a rounded rectangle above it.
