Rectangle by two points

Rectangle by two points

Rectangle

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);

· by three points

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 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 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. |

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.

Isorectangle

Creating a rectangle in the current isoplane.

In the command for constructing a rectangle using two points, the Isorectangle option is available only when the isometric mode is enabled: the button in the status bar or the snap type is set to Isometric in the Snap snap setting

Creating a rectangle in the current isoplane.

In the command for creating a rectangle using two points, the Isorectangle option is available only when the isometric mode is enabled: the CAD drafting Rectangle by Two Points 30 button in the status bar or the snap type is set to Isometric in the Snap setting.

1. Enable the isometric mode.

2. Select the command for creating a rectangle by two points.

3. At the prompt of the command line: Specify first corner point or [centeR/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.
Specify other corner point:	Specify the second point.

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.

Ribbon: Home, Draw – Draw > Rectangle from Center
Menu: Draw – Rectangle by > from Center
Toolbar: Draw –
Command line: RECTCENTER

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	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*%(color-blue)%:

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%%(color-blue):

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).
