    Default Please please please...

    Like every year I beg you, dear Xara, add a rounding corner tool to Designer Pro.
    I would have other request too, but this tool is a very foundamental one to have in an illustration software today.

    Xara does provide a limited capability with its Contour tool:

    For complex, concave and convex cornered shapes, the method is to apply an Outer Contour of 4px with the Join set as Round. You then click Inset Path.
    You do the same with an Inner Contour to this new shape with a smaller Contour Width, again Round Join and Inset Path.

    The end result is larger. You cannot use this approach to get different sized curves.

    Unfortunately the easiest way I can find to do it is to create the shape in Affinity Designer and use the Corner Tool to create the required corners. Export as svg and import into Xara.

    Very sad

    I know Acorn, but Is not the same thing. If you want differenti radius on differenti node of a shape that metod comes short.
    By the way I've used It in the pasta when needed to round every corner of a shape. ��
