    Two ways to do rounded rectangles
    1) Rectangle with Round Corners... Effect applied
    2) Rounded Rectangle Tool

    Here are both rectangles, one in each method:

    And here they are in Outline mode to illustrate the difference:

    When you scale the first one, the radius measurement will be preserved in the settings (Appearance panel) regardless of size. When you scale the second one, the corners will scale with it. If you Expand the first one, it will turn into the second one.

    Hope that helps. Cheers.
