See this screenprint. Note the yellow diamond pointed to by the green arrow. You can click on this yellow diamond, and, while holding your mouse button down, drag this to resize the corner.
Thanks a lot Gerry! I actually checked closely on my shape, and it wasn't there! What's interesting is that I had my shape grouped with a textbox, to add some nicer design to it, and when it's grouped, the yellow handle isn't available! As soon as I had ungrouped it, it was there! So I'm not sure if it's a "feature" or a bug Thanks a lot once more!
When it's in a group, just click on it again. You should then see the handles and diamond then. You can edit objects in a group by selecting them a second time after selecting the group.
Wow, you're right! Is there anything you guys didn't think of? I'm impressed Thanks a lot!
Not me. I'm not an Articulate employee.
Thank the programming and development wizards at Articulate and all the good folks who make wonderful feature suggestions and those who participate in beta tests.
Using the Yellow drag indicator works great but is there somewhere to enter a radius value manually? If not where would I suggest that as a new feature. Being able to enter the radius amount numerically would ensure all my shapes and pictures are consistent.
While we wait for this feature to surface; I have been using the Format Painter to copy my styles (like corner radius) to other objects in order to keep consistency. Hope that idea can help someone else.
I've submitted a feature request to change radius values via a pixel value, rather than dragging the yellow square control. Hopefully the team see value in providing users with accurate levels of control.
Adam: did your request include rounded rectangular callouts? Just like the captions, it appears you can't change them either, although it appears that they do change on their own, based on size and the text they may contain. I really like being able to set the radii with a discrete value.
So I submitted my request, but I just noticed something else about the rounded rectangular callout's radius: the radius of the corners changes based on whether the pointer comes out of the top or bottom or whether it comes out of one of the sides.
I am reporting this to our QA Team to review. I agree, it seems that this should not be the expected behavior. I am not aware of a way to change/customize this.

Yes grab the yellow handle and pull.
It would be nice to be able to set the size in the format menu, so I know exactly what radius it is and replicate that
Thanks!
I'm sorry, I'm missing something here, where exactly is the yellow handle? I'm probably missing something obvious, not a first for me..

Even better really! This community is the best
Is it possible to do the same with a caption?
Thanks for your help!

I would also like to see numerical corner radius functionality. It really helps with a consistent look..
Glad to see I'm not the only one

Dear all - although that was for a "rounded rectangular" shape, is it possiblie to do the same for a "rounded rectangular caption" shape?
Hi Lisa,
Doesn't appear to be possible ... not seeing that yellow diamond, in either SL1 or SL2.
Hi Lisa,
I also don't see that you can do that for a rounded rectangle caption - so that would have to be a feature request.
I've submitted a feature request to change radius values via a pixel value, rather than dragging the yellow square control. Hopefully the team see value in providing users with accurate levels of control.
Thanks Adam for sending along a feature request and ideas for more control are always something we'll want to pass along to our team.

Hi Chris!
Will do! Thanks.
So I submitted my request, but I just noticed something else about the rounded rectangular callout's radius: the radius of the corners changes based on whether the pointer comes out of the top or bottom or whether it comes out of one of the sides.
Can that be turned off?
Hi Chris! Do you have a .story file or sample slide to display what you are reporting. I'm not sure what you are asking to turn off.
See the attached file, please. The radius of the corners changes based on whether the point comes out of the top/bottom of the shape or the sides.
Thanks for sharing the file Chris.
