The Dynamic Corners preferences dialog can be brought up in three ways: by choosing Dynamic Corners Preferences... in the flyout menu of the panel; by double-clicking
on the Dynamic Corners tool icon in the toolbar; or by pressing the Return/Enter
key when the Dynamic Corners tool is selected.
Dynamic Corners Preferences
When enabled, unselected corners are drawn with an arrow from its radius point to its segments.
Specifies the style to use (circle or crosshair) when drawing Dynamic Corners’ radius points.
Chooses the color to use for corner annotation (red, blue or black).
When enabled, each time Illustrator is launched the Dynamic Corners panel will be restored to its previous settings, rather than its default settings.
When enabled, the radius of the corner under the cursor will be displayed next to the cursor.
Specifies the tolerance to use with the menu command Select Similar-Radius Corners on Selected Paths.
Allows the Dynamic Corners tool to recognize and convert non-dynamic corners which are unlocked and under the cursor (see Dynamic Corners Tool: Creating New Corners).
When enabled, hover converting a corner uses the stricter tolerance values as per the flyout menu command Convert to Dynamic Corners (Strict).
After converting corners with one of the panel flyout menu commands, a confirmation message is briefly displayed on-screen, indicating the number of paths which were successfully converted.
When enabled, selecting or deselecting artwork automatically deselects all Dynamic Corners.
When enabled, the dynamic status of all Dynamic Corners in the document is removed when switching to another tool. To edit these corners again, they would need to be converted back to Dynamic Corners.
The amount to “gear down” the cursor movement when a slow-drag is being performed. It can range from 1.0 (which results in no reduction in speed) to 100.0 (extreme reduction), with a default of 5.0. See Dynamic Corners Tool: Creating New Corners.
If one or more of Dynamic Corners’ warning dialogs have been suppressed using the “Don’t Show Again” checkbox, pressing this button will re-enable those warnings.
Shows a brief description of each preference setting when the cursor is being held over it.
