Apply corner shapes using the Corner Options dialog box
1. Using a selection tool, select a path.
2. Choose Object > Corner Options.
3. To apply the corner effect to all four corners of a rectangle, select the Make All Settings The Same icon . When the option is not selected,
dots appear on both sides of the icon (like a broken chain link).
4. Choose a corner effect and specify a size for one or more of the corners.
The size value determines the radius by which the corner effect extends from each corner point.
5. Select Preview if you want to see the results of the effect before applying it. Then click OK.
