Description
The Sketcher CreateRectangle tool creates a rectangle. The tool has four modes, two of which can also produce parallelograms. Rounded corners and creating an offset copy are optional features.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
Pos-OVP = Positional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 0.22
Dim-OVP = Dimensional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 0.22
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- The cursor changes to a white cross with the current tool mode icon.
- The Rectangle parameters section (introduced in version 0.22) is added at the top of the Sketcher Dialog.
- Optionally press the U key or check the Rounded corners checkbox to apply fillets to the rectangle. introduced in version 0.22
- Optionally press the J key or check the Frame checkbox to create a second offset shape. introduced in version 0.22
- Optionally press the M key or select from the dropdown list in the parameters section to change the tool mode:
- Corner, length & width:
- Pick the first corner of the rectangle. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate.
- Pick the opposite corner of the rectangle. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the length and/or width of the rectangle.
- Center, length & width: introduced in version 0.22
- Pick the center of the rectangle. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate.
- Pick a corner of the rectangle. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the length and/or width of the rectangle.
- 3 corners: introduced in version 0.22
- Pick the first corner of the rectangle. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate.
- Pick the endpoint of the first edge of the rectangle. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the length and/or angle of the first edge. The angle is relative to the X axis of the sketch.
- Pick the third corner, opposite the first, of the rectangle. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the length and/or angle of the second edge. The angle is relative to the first edge. Only if this angle is 90° will the result be a rectangle.
- Center and 2 corners: introduced in version 0.22
- Corner, length & width:
- If Rounded corners is selected: Pick a point to determine the fillet radius. Or with Dim-OVP: enter it.
- If Frame is selected: Pick a point to determine the offset distance. Or with Dim-OVP: enter it. If the offset is inward and larger than the radius, the offset shape will not have fillets.
- The geometry is created and applicable Pos-OVP and Dim-OVP based constraints are added.
