    Description

    This tool draws a rectangle by picking two opposite points. When starting the tool, the mouse pointer changes to a white cross with a red rectangle icon. The coordinates of the pointer are shown beside it in blue in real time.

    To define a rectangle via a center point and an edge point, use the Centered rectangle tool.
