The [[Image:Sketcher_CreateRectangle_Center.svg|24px]] [[Sketcher_CreateRectangle_Center|Sketcher CreateRectangle Center]] tool creates a centered rectangle. {{Version|1.0}}: This is the same tool as [[Sketcher_CreateRectangle|Sketcher CreateRectangle]] but with a different initial mode.
This tool draws a rectangle by first picking a point that will become the center point, then by picking an edge point. The result is a rectangle like with the [[Sketcher_CreateRectangle|Rectangle]] tool, only the definition points are different.
