Rectangle
The Rectangle option allows you to add a rectangle or a square anywhere on a view. To add a Rectangle or Square:
- Select Rectangle from the toolbar or the Add Tool sub-menu of the Tools menu.
- Enter the first corner graphically with the mouse, or enter x,y coordinates in the prompt line. NOTE: the Vertex Snap and Grid Snap options are available in the right-click menu, if you want to snap exactly to certain coordinates.
- As you move the mouse, a rectangle will be drawn between the point entered in step 2, and the current cursor location.
- Enter the second corner graphically with the mouse, or enter x,y coordinates in the prompt line, and the Rectangle or Square will be added to the view.
NOTE: to draw a SQUARE, hold the Shift key while you are moving the mouse.
After a Rectangle has been added, it can be moved, re-sized, formatted, etc. See the Edit Tools Overview topic for details.
