Square


Squares are defined by their center and the length of the sides.

The example to the left shows the contents of the Graphic Details Drawer when a square is selected. To view this information use the Show Item Details menu command found on the Tools menu of the Main menu.

To show the information for a square item on a drawing, the drawer must be open and the square must be selected. The square of interest must be the only item selected.

The coordinates for the center of the square are shown in the numeric text boxes labeled "X" and "Y". The location of the square may be checked in this manner or the square may be moved by entering a new value for either coordinate.

The length of the sides of the square is shown in the numeric text box labeled "Length". The square's size may be checked in this manner or changed by entering the new value in the text box.

These lengths are shown in the Units (cm, inches, points, ...) defined for the document on the Scale parameter panel. Each coordinate is the distance from the origin which is defined on the Scale panel and may be adjusted by dragging a Ruler.
