Polygon > Rectangle (Draw Menu)

This command draws a rectangle. A rectangle is a quadrangle where each side is at right angles to the adjacent side, and is therefore a special type of parallelogram. This command always draws a rectangle whose sides are horizontal and vertical. Horizontal and vertical refers to the position relative to the view. If the drawing is rotated, the sides are created rotated as well.

The first corner point of the rectangle can be entered by clicking the mouse at any point within the drawing.

The first corner point of the rectangle can be entered by clicking the mouse at any point within the drawing.

The two other corners are positioned automatically so that the adjacent sides form right angles.

The surface is assigned to the current layer. It also contains a reference to the current pen.
