Drag the handle clockwise or counter-clockwise to reshape the ellipse into a pie with a wedge missing, or just wedge of pie.When you hover over the round handle hanging out the side, you will see the pie icon.When you hover over a left or right handle, you will see the “fried egg” icon, which indicates that when you resize with the side handles, the center is pinned and the ellipse resizes proportionately on all sides.The top, bottom and corner handles work the same as they did in all the previous versions.Conversely, if you do see them, select View > Show Corner Widget. If you don’t want to see the bullseyes, select View > Hide Corner Widget.Or double click a bullseye with the Direct Selection tool to change an individual corner.

Alternatively, double click a bullseye with the Selection tool to open the Transform panel, which has options for controlling all corners or individual corners numerically, and to change the corner shape.

Use the Selection tool to drag the bullseye in towards the center to round the corners, or towards a corner to reduce/remove rounding.

Draw a rectangle or rounded-corner rectangle.

You can round the right angle corners of a rectangle and change the rounded corners of a rounded rectangle into right angles.

In the current version of Illustrator, these two drawing tools do exactly the same thing. You can turn them off of the ellipses and polygons, and if that’s why you are here, skip down the to last line of this post. The new live shape behaviors are cool (say some) and awful (say others).
