hi,
is it possible to bevel or round edges on any shapes?
i know its going on the boxes but how can i realize it when i need a bevel of 5mm or any unit.
It is a bit hacky but you can blur the shape then create a bitmap copy and then trace the bitmap at .5 threshold.

Fillet and Chamfer tool were never implemented despite of having a specification and even a dedicated development branch. Best you can do is combining shapes perhaps.

For round corners you can use a stroke with round join style. See the very bottom of:

Round join style is nice, but it doesn't really affect the shape of the path. For example, if you don't have a stroke (i.e. it's just shape with a solid fill) the corners aren't rounded. Also, there is no way to specify the radius of the curve -- it's tied directly to the thickness of the stroke. So for 1px-wide strokes, you don't really have any visible curves.
Alexandre, I'd never heard of Fillet & Chamfer before -- I'm a dedicated Inkscape user, and have never spent any real time with the Adobe tools. Wow, it looks very useful. At a guess, it shouldn't be hard to implement as an extension, or possibly an LPE. But I don't have enough experience to know for sure.
It would be coolest as a dynamic property so you can see the corners change as you drag a custom handle, or update a spinbox or something. Save on the TrySomething->Undo->TrySomethingElse cycle.
It would also be really handy to be able to restrict which nodes you want operated on -- so you can keep some corners intact if you want. Very useful for quickly tracing bitmap shapes by hand.

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

But it's hardly an Adobe tool :) Among classic vector graphics editors only Corel DRAW (since X3) has it, to the best of my knowledge. It's more about computer-aided drafting, really.

That was the plan -- LPE.
