1. Convert to Dynamic Corners
2. Convert to Dynamic Corners (Strict)

These menu items convert all Regular-type, non-dynamic corners (such as those created using Adobe’s native Live Corners) on selected paths to Dynamic Corners, when possible. If no paths are selected, all unlocked and unhidden paths in the document are considered. The “Strict” version differs in that the corner geometry must be closer to “ideal” for conversion to occur than the non-Strict version, which uses a higher tolerance. Negative corners may be detected as Regular corners facing in the opposite direction. The Dynamic Corners tool will automatically be selected afterwards if it is not already, so you can work with the new corners.

3. Convert Round Corner Effects

Converts corners on selected paths which have the native Round Corners live effect applied. If no paths are selected, all unlocked and unhidden paths in the document are considered.

4. Remove Selected Corners

Removes selected Dynamic Corners, which is equivalent to setting their radius value to zero.

5. Remove Dynamic Status (Selected)
6. Remove Dynamic Status (All In Document)

Converts all the Dynamic Corners on selected paths, or on all paths in the document, to non-Dynamic. This is recommended in a few situations, such as on artwork that is being used inside a pattern or a symbol.

7. Select Similar-Radius Corners on Selected Paths

Selects all Dynamic Corners on selected paths which have a radius that is within a tolerance of the radius of the selected corner. The tolerance value can be specified in the preferences. If no paths are selected, all similar corners in the document will be selected.

8. Select All Corners on Selected Paths

Selects all Dynamic Corners on selected paths. If no paths are selected, all corners in the document will be selected.

9. Active Dynamic Corner Mode

When moving an anchor point that is adjacent to a Dynamic Corner, it is best to use the Dynamic Corners tool, as it allows you to see in real-time how the adjacent corner is being affected (see Dynamic Corners Tool: Editing Existing Corners). However, when this preference is enabled (the default; indicated by a checkmark), Dynamic Corners will still monitor changes to paths which have Dynamic Corners, and, when the tool is reselected, will recalculate the corners based on the new locations of the anchor points.
