Drawing a rectangle or square
Drawing a rectangle is similar to drawing a straight line, except that you click on the
Rectangle icon on the Drawing toolbar, and the (imaginary) line drawn by the
mouse corresponds to a diagonal of the rectangle. In addition, the outline of the
future rectangle changes shape as you drag the mouse around. The outline may be
shown as a dashed line until you release the mouse button.
Figure 23: Drawing a rectangle
Draw considers squares to be rectangles with sides of equal length. Hold down the
Shift key to draw a square. Hold down the Alt key while dragging with the mouse to
create a rectangle with its center (rather than a corner) at the start point (where you
first clicked the mouse).
Note
Blue or green selection handles appear around an object made up of
more than 2 points, showing that this is the currently selected object.
The colors depend on the standard selection mode—green with a normal
selection or blue if you are in the point edit mode. This effect is easily
seen if both Simple Handles and Large Handles are switched on in
the Options toolbar. See Chapter 3 for more details on points.
