I was wondering if there was any way of aligning circles in diagonal corners like in my first picture down below. Now I know there is a round corner effect and I also have a script that rounds only specific corners that I want, but I've been puzzled when I see people have an actual circle guide perfectly placed in the odd corner. I've seen it plenty of times on Dribbble snapshots.

  • That's not how it works. You make a guide to create a shape, not add the guide later. That't why it fits perfectly, because it was there to help create the shape. – KMSTR Feb 21 '15 at 6:56
  • what do you need exactly? to round your shape perfectly? or just to place circles to the corners? – hsawires Feb 21 '15 at 8:39
  • Yeah okay,I understand what you're trying to say. Here's the thing: The questioner is talking about this: !enter image description here Correct me if I'm wrong, he's trying to find out how to make that circular guide. The design up here is mine, and how I did is shaping every corner manually using a shape combined with other shape (pathfinder stuff). For example, the top left corner, is a result of a rectangle intersected with a ellipse (or circle). This will guarantee you to achieve that 100% smooth corner, I don't recommend you to use any script :p **Rem – Budi Tanrim Feb 21 '15 at 14:31
