If the angle of the corner is not 90 degrees, the radius will not be the radius you enter. The sharper the corner, the smaller the radius, and on >90 degree angles the radius becomes larger than what you enter. Also is the rounding effect not always following a perfect circle. If you are serious on rounded corners, draw a shape in AutoCAD and then choose: fillet, radius, diameter, polyline and click the shape to give rounded corners. Import the .dwg in Illustrator for perfect corners, not the arbitrary crap Illustrator produces. Unfortunately, the round corner effect is not accurate.
