tog_minusBasic Procedure

 

Screen Pick

Command Input

Step 1

RoundedRectangle1

(Optional) Enter X, Y, [Z] coordinates for the first point.

Input-Grid3

Step 2

RoundedRectangle2

(Optional) Enter X, Y, [Z] coordinates for the second point (opposite corner).

Input-Grid4

Step 3

RoundedRectangle3

RoundedRectangle3Completely

Enter the radius of the rounded corners.

Input-RoundRectangle1

or...

(Optional) Enter X, Y, [Z] coordinates that the arc of the rounded corner should pass through.

Input-Point3

If the point specified is too far inside the rectangle, the maximum radius will be maintained.

tog_minusNotes

1.The rules for alignment and positioning are the same as for Rectangle.

2.All four rounded corners will have the same radius.

3.A radius value of 0.00 will produce a standard rectangle with sharp corners.

4.If the entered radius equals or exceeds half the width of the rectangle, then a full-radius rectangle will result.

Example of coordinate entry Input for relative coordinates.

1.Pick first corner point or enter coordinates x,y and Z: 2,0

2.Pick second corner point or enter coordinates x,y and Z: R6,4
For the second point, the coordinate input can also be entered as @6,4
This creates a rounded rectangle line that is 6 units in length and 4 units in width from 2,0 to 8,4 in X Y coordinates.

3.Enter radius: 0.25
