Rectangle by Two Points
Rectangle is a special case of a closed polyline. The Explode command transforms polyline which rectangle consists of, into segments.
There are three ways to create a rectangle:
· by two points;
· from center (with center in the specified point);
Ribbon: Home, Draw – Draw > 
Rectangle by Two Points
Menu: Draw – Rectangle by > 
Two points
Toolbar: Draw –
Hotkeys: CTRL+ALT+R
Command line: REC,RECT,RECTANG,RECTANGLE
The command allows creating a rectangle (flat closed rectangular polyline) from two opposite points.
Parameters of rectangle (length, width, area, rotation angle) can be specified and types of angles (right angle, with chamfer or rounded by radius) can be edited with this command.
Command options when a first corner point is specified:
|
CenteR |
Switches to the mode of drawing a rectangle from center. |
|
Chamfer |
Chamfer sizes for rectangle’s corner.
|
|
Elevation |
Sets the elevation (Z-axis) for the rectangle. Since the rectangle is a flat figure, the Z-coordinates of its vertices in the UCS are determined by the Elevation parameter.
|
|
Fillet |
Sets the current radius for fillet of rectangle’s corners.
|
|
Thickness |
Current three-dimensional height.
|
|
Width |
Width of polyline to create a rectangle. |
Command options when a second corner point is specified:
|
Area |
Area of rectangle when it is created by area and length or by area and width After a value of area is specified a prompt is shown in a command line: Calculate rectangle dimensions based on [Length/Width]<Length>: Options: Length - Specifies length of rectangle. Width - Specifies width of rectangle. |
|
Dimension |
Height and length of rectangle. |
|
Rotation |
Rotation angle of rectangle by entering its value in the command line or specifying on the screen. The Pick Points option allows specifying a rotation angle by specifying two points on the screen. |
Command prompts:
|
Specify first corner point or [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: |
Specify first corner (point 1). |
|
Specify other corner point or [Area/Dimensions/Rotation]: |
Specify second corner (point 2). |
Isorectangle
Creating a rectangle in the current isoplane.
In the command of creating a rectangle by two point, the Isorectangle option is available only when the isometric mode is enabled: 
button in the status bar or the Isometric snap type set in the Grid snap of the drafting settings.
1. Enable the isometry mode.
2. Select the command to create a rectangle by two points.
3. Upon the command line prompt: Specify first corner point or [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width/Isorectangle]: - select Isorectangle.
Command prompts
|
Specify first corner point or [Dimensions]: |
Specify the first corner or select the Dimensions option to create a rectangle by length and width. |
|
Speify other corner point : |
Specify the second corner. |
Creating a Rectangle from Center
Ribbon: Home, Draw – Draw > 
Rectangle from Center
Menu: Draw – Rectangle by > 
from Center
Toolbar: Draw –
Command line: RECTCENTER
The command allows you to draw a rectangle (a flat closed rectangular polyline) with a center at a specified point.
When constructing a rectangle using this command, you can set the rectangle parameters (length, width, area, rotation angle), as well as control the type of its corners (square corners, chamfered or rounded with a radius).
Command options available when specifying the center:
|
cOrner |
Switches to the mode of drawing a rectangle by two points. |
|
Chamfer |
Sets the chamfer size for the rectangle’s corners.
|
|
Elevation |
Sets the elevation (Z-axis) for the rectangle. Since the rectangle is a flat figure, the Z-coordinates of its vertices in the UCS are determined by the Elevation parameter.
|
|
Fillet |
Sets the current radius for fillet of rectangle’s corners.
|
|
Thickness |
Specifies the 3D height for the rectangle.
|
|
Width |
Sets the polyline width for building a rectangle.
|
Command options available when specifying other corner point:
|
Area |
Specifying the rectangle area when it is created by area and specified length or by area and specified width. After setting the area value, the following prompt is displayed in the command line: Calculate rectangle dimensions based on [Length/Width]: Options: Length - Specifies the rectangle’s lenth. Width - Specifies the rectangle’s width. |
|
Dimensions |
Sets values for creating a rectangle by length and width. |
|
Rotation |
Specifies the rotation angle of the rectangle by entering its value in the command line or by specifying a point on the screen. The Pick Point option allows you to set the rotation angle by specifying two points on the screen. |
Command prompts:
|
Specify rectangle center or [cOrner/Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]: |
Specifies the center (point 1). |
|
Specify other corner point or [Area/Dimensions/Rotation]: |
Specifies the second corner (point 2). |
Isorectangle
