Rectangle

Source file: 2d-rectangle.htm

With the rectangle tool you can draw a rectangle anywhere and in any orientation.

To draw a rectangle, proceed as follows:

1. On the Create ribbon tab, go to the Draw group. From the Polygon drop-down list select Rectangle.

   The Create Rectangle tool panel will appear. The panel allows manual input of corner coordinates.

2. From the Creation mode drop-down list, select from the following and draw the rectangle:

   • Opposite points on plane: Select two points as opposite corners. The rectangle will be drawn between these, with its sides aligned with the axes.

   • Three points: Select two points to define adjacent corners and a third to define the length of the perpendicular sides. The fourth side is added automatically.

   • Opposite points and direction: Select points as opposite corners. Move the mouse around and click to set the rectangle's orientation.

   

   Note:  Opposite points on plane always creates rectangles on the action plane. Set up the action plane in the required position and orientation before drawing the rectangle.

3. Click Apply to continue creating rectangles or OK to accept and exit the tool.

Note:  Once a rectangle is completed and the function exited, it can be moved as required anywhere in the 3D space.

The rectangle is saved in the cad container by default and is displayed in the active view window.
