How to *soften* vertices?

[chippwalters]

Consider this image:

I'd like to be able to soften the vertices (2) as they are shown in (1). Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks!

Weld them using Curvizard by Fredo

[cotty]

Or TIGs weld.

[pilou]

Or Recurve by Diggsey (more practical)

You could also turn off Endpoints and Extensions in your style's edge settings.
