Question: How to create a rectangle with only 2 rounded corners?

[MikeSmith]

Hi guys,

I would like to create a rectangle with only 2 rounded corners. The other 2 corners I would like to leave 90 degrees.

How would you do this in Xara?

Thanks for your tips
Mike

Ah the rounded rectangle question

There are a few ways to do this, my favourite way is to draw the rectangle to the size you need and round the corners to the radius you need, then clone the rectangle (Ctrl+K) this will place a copy directly on top. select the top rectangle and remove the rounded corners. pull one side of the top rectangle in to expose the rounded corners underneath. Select both rectangles and Ctrl +1 will add shapes and combine them into a single shape.

It would be better to work it out as CorelDRAW did it.
