Rectangle

To select the type of rectangle you want to create, follow these steps:

1. Define your sketch plane, go to Sketch > Rectangle.
   For other methods of accessing this tool, visit Accessing tools.
2. Select the menu below Rectangle to access the Rectangle type options.
   • Center rectangle – A center rectangle is defined by its center point. When you select somewhere on the grid, that point becomes the center of the rectangle (and an anchor point, which is indicated by the X-mark) and you can drag the shape to create the sides of the rectangle. 
   • Diagonal rectangle – A diagonal rectangle is defined by its two opposite corners. When you select somewhere on the grid, you need to drag an imaginary diagonal line. This line becomes the diagonal length of the rectangle, and the initial point becomes the anchor point.
   • Three-point rectangle – A three-point rectangle is defined by three points by first drawing a baseline, and then drawing the height. The remaining sides of the rectangle are automatically created based on the two sides, or three points you specified. The first point you create becomes the anchor point.
3. Select the type of rectangle you want to create.
   

To create a Center Rectangle:

1. Click to place the center of the rectangle
2. Drag your cursor and click to place an outer vertex for the rectangle.

To create a Diagonal Rectangle :

1. Click to place the starting diagonal point of the rectangle.
2. Drag your cursor diagonally and click to place an outer vertex for the rectangle.

To create a Three-Point Rectangle:

1. Click to place the starting point of the rectangle, then move your pointer to draw a line. This will be the length of your baseline. Click to finalize the length of the baseline.
2. Move your pointer perpendicular to the baseline to define the shape of the rectangle. Click to finalize the shape of the rectangle

To create a Center Rectangle:

Select a point on the grid for the center of the rectangle and drag to position an outer vertex

To create a Diagonal Rectangle :

To create a Three-Point Rectangle :

1. Select a point on the grid for the starting point of the rectangle, then drag your pen to create a line. This will be the length of your baseline.
2. Drag your pen perpendicular to your baseline to define the shape of the rectangle.
