Internal Corner On A Rectangle
Can somebody point me in the right direction. I want to make some templates for trophy plates, I started by making a box and then put rounded corners on and thought that I could find a tool to invert the corners but hey its never that simple is it? Using X4 if somebody could help please.

Draw the rectangle , draw four circles of the size you want the curve to be. Activate snap to object and place the center of circle on each corner. Highlight all objects and click the back minus front tab.
Job done.

Draw rectangle in X4
Select rectangle and click ‘shape tool’ (second one down, left hand tools)
Drag corner nodes of rectangle.
Look on top bar to see how setting, all or individual corners can be set there.Resizing rectangle non proportionally will alter the round corners this can be corrected with a free macro from http://www.macromonster.com I think, certainly there is one about (X5 has this sorted)
EDIT Sorry just read the post properly now, fillet command as Chris says in X4 although X5 now can do this by dragging.)
