Rectangle


Rectangles are defined by their top left corner, length and width of the sides.

The example to the left shows the contents of the Graphic Details Drawer when a Rectangle 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 Rectangle item on a drawing, the drawer must be open and the Rectangle must be selected. The Rectangle of interest must be the only item selected.

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

The length (X dimension) and height (Y dimension) of the sides of the Rectangle are shown in the numeric text boxes. The Rectangle'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.
