: How to scale a rectangle with rounded corners in Illustrator? the scale handles disappear when i round a rectangle's corners how can I increase/decrease the size with no handles?

When you select an object with the black arrow tool it shows the bounding box with scale nodes at each corner and on each side.

When you select an object with the white arrow tool you see only the object's anchor points.

Make sure the object is unlocked and on the active layer.

You can access and adjust the round corner settings in the Appearances tab.

Any effect you've applied can be isolated, edited or deleted in the Appearances tab.

If you want to scale the whole rectangle then select it with the black arrow tool and the scale handles should be there.

If not, try expanding, this gives back the ability to scale but you cant change the round on the corners anymore.
