Illustrator Shortcut to curving a 90 degree angle?

[fword]

So I'm penning one of my sketches and some of the 90 degree angles I think would look a lot better with a slight curve. I've been spending a ton of time going to each one and adding anchors and tweeking. Any tips on speeding this up?

something like this.

Welcome to the forum...

You can use the rounded rectangle tool (U) . You can set the roundeness of the corner.

In my example, I created a shape layer, selected the shape and stroked it.

I'm using illustrator CS4 so my U key is my mesh tool (which I've never used). I should probably clarify that they are not exactly 90 degree angles. I have found a generic way by just zooming way in and adding anchor points and using the arrow keys. The more I play with it the less I think there is an easy way to this.
