How to draw an unequal parts triangle with equally curved corners?

[gaftalik]

Hi everyone,


How is it possible to draw a triangle with no equal parts such as 8cm x 6cm and have equal adjustable curved corners as much as needed?

I tried the quick shape tool and set the sides to 3 but the most difficult part was to convert to edible shapes and draw it manually and messed up.

Then i tried to draw a rectangle with curved corners and deleted two points to get a triangle shape but i ended up with different curved corners !!

I am using Xara Designer Pro X11.

Thank you for your help!

Create a circle the size you want to round the corners. Clone twice.

Place in the corners of the triangle.

Use the Shape Tool to add nodes where the circles align the triangle.

Delete the end points.

Select all and Arrange > Combine Shapes > Add Shapes (Ctrl + 1)

Gary,

What is the purpose to delete the end points of the circle before adding the shapes?

Never mind, I misread what you where saying. You want the end point of the triangle deleted.

Thanks

What a great solution!! however it was hard to add those nodes and after combining shapes it wasnt perfectly curved, need to align them precisely.

Thank you very much !!!

Thank you Spamiky but that creates only an isocele triangle with curved corners, adjusting the triangle size manually afterwards is a terrible work for me and couldn't make it.

My example is not perfect. It takes some work, and it is best to work zoomed in close.

Yes gaftalik but try it with a right-angled triangle.

Again here's a further example of Xaras abandonment of vector tools being highlighted.

This takes seconds in Affinity Designer.
