Well, orthopedic surgeons also use sledge hammers :D Thanks
for the tip, it's quite a obvious solution indeed. But it makes me think of
another strange thing in Inskcape:
Wenn chosing "inset" or "outset" when working on a pixel
scale, (icon), the outcome usualy is horrible! Dynamic outset doesn't have this
problem. Anybody know what's going on?
What I've done for a closed path is to use a dynamic offset to first
inset the path and then do another dynamic offset to bring it back out. When you
bring it back out the corners will be rounded. However it's not exactly an
accurate method. It rounds all corners of the path, not specific ones, and may
not be what you're looking for. The steps I use are:
1. create path or
convert original shape to a path
2. double-click the path object and then hit
Ctrl-J (dynamic offset)
3. drag the shape inwards
4. convert the resulting
inset shape into a path again (it's now an offset, not a path)
5.
double-click the path object and then hit Ctrl-J (same as step 2)
6. this
time drag the shape back outwards - you should see the corners become
rounded.
Note, if you do this on an open path it will close the path
automatically and you're results might not be what you're looking for.
Like I said, it's a very simplistic method. It might be a sledgehammer
when you're actually looking for a surgical scalpel. :)

Hey
people,
Is there an easy way to round corners in a path? All I could
think off
now is to instet the path, give it a realy big width, convert
stroke to
fill, break fill apart and remove the inner path. Is there an
easier
way?
To my knoledge, no other graphic programs outside the
CAD-world have
this functionality, but I might be
mistaken.
