Create a rectangle between two base points and a height point. Picking points or entering coordinates.

Command Prompts

Rectangle:: Pick edge start point or enter coordinates x,y and z

Rectangle:: Pick edge end point or enter coordinates x,y and z

Rectangle:: Pick point or enter coordinates x,y and z or enter width

Rectangle:: Done

Basic Procedure

	Screen Pick
Step 1	Rectangle:: Pick edge start point or enter coordinates x,y and z
Step 2	Rectangle:: Pick edge end point or enter coordinates x,y and z
Step 3	Rectangle:: Pick point or enter coordinates x,y and z or enter width
Final	Rectangle:: Done

Notes

1.The rectangle is aligned with the axes of the Construction Plane.

2.The final rectangle will lie in a plane parallel to the Construction Plane and with one corner at the first point selected.

3.If the second point selected is not in that same plane, it will be projected onto the destination plane of the final rectangle.

4.Coordinate entry can be in absolute coordinates or in relative coordinates. An example of absolute coordinate is shown above.

5.Example of coordinate entry Input for relative coordinates:

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

b.Pick second corner point or enter coordinates x,y and Z: R6,4

6.For the second point, the coordinate input can also be entered as @6,4.
This creates a rectangle line that is 6 units in length and 4 units in width from 2,0 to 8,4 in X Y coordinates.
