Round Joins


When you create a path that has a sharp corner, you have a couple of options for making it "less pointy" (how's that for technical terminology?). In the Stroke palette (found under the Window menu), you can either adjust the Miter Limit field by entering a lower number or, in many cases, it is simpler to change the join from Miter Join to Round Join or Bevel Join by clicking on one of the Join icons. (The same concept applies to the corners of a rectangle.) Remember to expand the Stroke palette (using the palette's flyout menu) if you can't see the Miter Limit or Join icons.
