156      Shape Handling

                You can then drag on the selection handles shown on the corners to adjust the diameter
                of the rounded corners.


















                You can resize rectangles using either the RECTANGLE TOOL (by dragging on the handles
                shown at the corners) or the SELECTOR TOOL.


                Note that if you change the aspect ratio of a rounded corner rectangle using the
                SELECTOR TOOL (by stretching it in one dimension only) the aspect ratio of the rounded
                corners is not stretched, it is maintained. However if you have multiple objects selected,
                or if you’re stretching a group containing a rounded corner rectangle, the aspect ratio of
                the corners is not maintained.

                TIP: When rotating rectangles or any shape with straight edges, hold down Ctrl to easily
                rotate so that one of the straight edges is exactly horizontal or vertical.



                Creating circles and ellipses


                To create an ellipse or circle:

                      Select the ELLIPSE TOOL ("Shift + F4", or "L") from the main toolbar.


                The RADIUS AND DIAMETER buttons on the InfoBar automatically create circles.
