Shape with Rounded Corners

Khurana

Hi,

Is there a way to create a shape with rounded corners in a single step?  I know the 1) create shape then 2) Edit Boundary method that requires users to define arc begin/end points but this is for create a shape symbol (ssm) and can be quite tedious especially when you do this all day long (as a librarian).  Are there short-cuts to this?

Using Allegro PCB Editor XL v16.2 with hotfix..

Thanks

    Thank All.

    Mike's method is the only thing that's closest since decompose shape & add line are grayed out in shape symbol mode.  Was hoping that Fillet command would work but not only is it not there in shape symbol mode but it also does not work on a shape (i.e. works on lines only)...probably that's why it's not there.

    Another CCR...
