Draft Rectangle/de

Description
The Rectangle tool creates a rectangle by picking two points. It uses the Draft Linestyle set on the Draft tray toolbar.



How to use

 * 1) Press the  button, or press  then  keys
 * 2) Click a first corner point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate
 * 3) Click another opposite point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate. The rectangle will also be a face, even if it appears as wireframe.

Options

 * Press, or  after a point to constrain the next point on the given axis.
 * To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press between each X, Y and Z component.
 * Press or click the checkbox to check/uncheck the  button. If relative mode is on, the coordinates of the next point are relative to the last one. If not, they are absolute, taken from the (0,0,0) origin point.
 * Press or click the checkbox to check/uncheck the  button. If continue mode is on, the Rectangle tool will restart after you finish or close it, allowing you to draw another one without pressing the Rectangle button again.
 * Press while drawing to force snapping your point to the nearest snap location, independently of the distance.
 * Press while drawing to constrain your next point horizontally or vertically in relation to the last one.
 * Press or the  button to have the rectangle filled with a face after it has been closed.
 * Press or the  button to abort the current Line command.
 * Rectangles, when in "Flat Lines" display mode, can display a hatch pattern, by setting their "Pattern" property.

Properties

 * : Specifies the length of the rectangle
 * : Specifies the width of the rectangle
 * : Specifies the size of chamfered corners
 * : Specifies a curvature radius to give to the corners of the rectangle
 * : Allows to give horizontal subdivisions to this rectangle
 * : Allows to give vertical subdivisions to this rectangle
 * : Fills the rectangle with a face
 * : Allows to give the path to an image file to be mapped on the rectangle. It is up to you to give the rectangle the same proportion as the image if you want to avoid distortions. Blanking this property will remove the image.
 * : Specifies a hatch pattern to fill the wire with.
 * : Specifies the size of the hatch pattern

Scripting
The Rectangle tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:


 * Creates a  object with   in X direction and   in Y direction.
 * If a  is given, it is used.
 * If  is , the rectangle is shown as a wireframe, otherwise as a face.
 * The current Draft Linestyle will be used.
