Great. Since I made this video, Inkscape has added a new path effects editor which includes a rounded corners feature. (Do a search on RUclips for more info - there are several good videos explaining how this new feature works.)
This is great. However, I have found a similar way. Important to view in outline. No need for duplicate shape. Place your circles where needed. Follow the instructions for adding nodes at tangent points. Delete the end nodes as shown. Select the two tangent nodes and choose make selected nodes auto smooth. Leave the handles that appear inside your circle alone. Drag the outer handles back into their respective nodes. This forces the other handles to ONLY follow the straight path as if that path was extended. Now adjust each handle to match the radius of your circle.
I am struggling with this - your tutorial seems great, but I am not sure if it is because I am on a Mac or if its user error. I cannot get the target nodes to create. It ends up highlighting the circle (even though I have the base shape selected).
I have been looking for this type of Inkscape tutorial, thanks for taking the time to make it!
Thanks for this. This helps in making nice gussets for cnc plasma cuts

@@geoffphil yes i havr 1.1.1 however making a radius after object to path will not work the new featured way.

Hey, I just saw that the new development version has a fillet tool, you should give it a try
Yes I know. Will install when out of beta as I use lot if extensions that require version 0.92.
@@geoffphil I think you can download a portable version, so you can have both in the same machine
@@geoffphil you speak a lot man
