Looking for a rounded rectangle for street sign

Post by UH60Family »

I want to cut a personlized street sign out of vinyl for my daughter. I am looking for a rectangle with rounded edges. I know there is a rounded square in SCAL, but when I stretch it to make a rectangle, the corners don't look right. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks, but it looks like the corners are still 90 degrees! Am I missing something? Is there a way to round the corners on it? Thanks in advance again for any help!

Here are four rectangles. The first one has a corner radius of .125" or 1/8", the second .250" or 1/4", the third .375" or 3/8" and the fourth .500" or 1/2". Which one of these do you like the best?

The first two look like they could be right on! Either one will work!

Here you go. These should scale either way. Larger or smaller.

Todd,

Can I get these files from you as well, please? I use the Cricut program to make my street signs, for the same reason as mentioned - my attempts to make a rectangle in SCAL have failed............

Thanks!
