Rectangle, Full Rectangle

The 'Rectangle' and 'Full Rectangle' commands are used to draw a rectangle / full rectangle, by entering two points representing diagonally opposite corners.

To draw a rectangle, select the command and you will be prompted to enter the start point. This can be done by inputting the co-ordinates, using the keyboard, or by positioning the cursor on the screen. If you are using the cursor, when the cursor is in the correct location, press the left mouse button (or <Enter> key) to fix the first point and you will be prompted to enter the next point. As you move the cursor, the rectangle will be displayed in dynamic mode until the second point is entered by pressing the left mouse button (or <Enter> key).

Like the 'Line' command, rectangles will not be recognised by the list generator or other automatic functions.  You can set the line type, line width, and colour. When a rectangle is drawn with a line width greater than 0,25mm, then the thickness is generated towards the inside of the rectangle and not symmetrically about the lines. If you need to select a rectangle having thick lines, e.g. for a modify operation, it must be selected  by placing the cursor on the outer edge of a line and not in the center.
