Illustrator's Live Corners are bigger than Effects>Round Corners!?!?

[TravinFlavin]

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a bug in my version? I recently made two identical shapes trying to figure out what was going on in relation to a previous question (you can read here: Rounded Corners: Can Anyone Explain This!?) and entered an identical corner radius (8.1 cm) for each, first into Live Corners then into Effects>Stylize>Round Corners, and the result was the Live Corners were about twice the size of the Round Corners effect.. WTF!?

I just ran a test on a square using the live corners and round corners effect. Both came out identical. Both were 8.1 cm in this image

I find it is most accurate and quickest to draw things like this in Autocad and then bring it into Illustrator.

Thanks guys. Quick correction, I did some more tests and found it works fine with rectangles but produces very different results with triangles

Of course you will, rectangles have 90 degree angles and triangles vary. Where you sleeping in geometry class.
I trace the sign curve on paper, get a compass and match curve, measure for radius and transpose findings into Illustrator.
These were done in Illy with same radius and you can see the difference.

I slept through MOST of my classes XD

And yes, I realize that rounded corners will vary between shapes. But what I noticed, on my machine anyways, is that two identical triangles with the same corner radius entered on Live Corners as well as Effects>Rounded Corners are producing different results..

And if you want it to fit next time, make your radius a little bigger and trim off excess after applying material.

Then make your circles separate and lay them where you need them and join both objects and then you bypass your funky copy of Illustrator.

Second that.
