   The two lines are joined by the rounded corner which moves as you move the cursor. This lets you vary the dimensions of the corner.

4. Optional: Click Keep as default for next to keep the same radius value when creating other corners.

   If you want to choose the different radius values for other corners, click the Keep as default for next command again.

5. Enter the corner radius value in the Sketch tools toolbar: 22mm.
   You can also click when you are satisfied with the corner dimensions. Both lines are trimmed at the points of tangency with the corner.
   

   Note: When you create corners on multiple vertices:

   You can see the preview of the corner at these vertices. All the corners have the same radius. To achieve different radii, select each vertex separately or edit the constraints. If any of the vertices is invalid (intersection of more than two lines) then corner is created on the valid vertices only.
