in sketches can we please finally have rounded rectangles?

tired of using the recommended methods. They are too many steps. I use slots a lot, and I understand making a slot feature similar to Fusion360 is asking a lot, but even allowing a second click on the final edge to create the fillet or chamfer would go a LONG way.

You don’t even have to make it editable, One shot. If we get it wrong, then we delete and do again.

or at least have a simple method to select all extruded edges which can then be rounded all at once. It’s often annoying to go around an object to select all!

Thanks, I hadn’t hadn’t realised that select could be used to just select all the edges!

If you want reasons for why Rounded Rectangles should be a native structure, I’m reminded of this article dating back to the founding of the Macintosh.
