You now have an object with lots of smooth transitions between adjacent straight lines. The straight segments return to normal, and Inkscape leaves the curve segments exactly as you wanted them. (Inkscape calls straight lines 'lines' I thought lines could be curved if they wanted to - curved lines shouldn't feel compelled to remain in the closet.)

The result will look weird, but this is fine: no damage of any kind is done as a result.Īll the lines that were supposed to be straight, set them back to straight ('lines') again: Select the entire path, and set all nodes to smooth: For curves, simply draw a straight line between where the curve should start and end: Start out by drawing the object as a series of straight lines. However, there's a trick that allows you to create objects with rounded corners from scratch. One of the features lacking from Inkscape is the ability to create rounded corners on objects (chamfers or fillets whatever people want to call them - fillets means fish to me). This is a trick I just discovered the other day by accident, and I thought I'd share.
