1. Select the Rounded Rectangle tool in the Vector section of the
Tools panel.
The Rounded Rectangle tool is a shape tool. Click the expander icon
on the shape icon to select it.
2. In the Document window, position the cross-hair pointer over the
canvas, and drag downward and to the right to create the shape.
You can draw the rounded rectangle anywhere on the canvas. Don't
worry about size and position at this point; you'll resize and position it
later in this procedure.
3.
When you release the mouse button, a rounded rectangle appears,
selected, in the area you defined.
You can see when an object is selected because it displays blue corner
points. Most objects also have a blue highlight around their outer
edges, but rectangles are an exception. A rounded rectangle shape also
has control points that appear as yellow diamonds. These control
points let you change the size and corner roundness of the rounded
rectangle.
