2. Point the mouse cursor to the position of the first rectangle point and click.
3. Point the mouse cursor to the position of the diametric rectangle point and click.

Tip: To create a square, hold down the Shift key when drawing.

Rectangle parameters

The parameters are being defined in the palette Object properties.

Line

Selection of a line color. Clicking the color sample placed below the caption opens the color palette. Clicking on the color in the palette sets the color as the color of the line.

Style

Selection of a line style for the rectangle. The list contains several line styles - e.g. solid line, dash line, dotted line, dot-and-dashed line.

Warning:

Drawing and behaviour of lines of Dotted line style depends on the operating system. In D2000 systems running under Windows 2000, using a zoom does not change a width of dash line.

Width

Definition of a line width from 0 to 99. 0 means an invisible line.

Fill

Selection of a rectangle fill.

Pattern

Selection of a fill pattern of the graphic object. Clicking a button with corresponding pattern will fill the graphic object with this pattern in the color defined in the parameter Fill.

Round

Setting of a radius value for the corners of the graphic objects (0-99). The value of 0 means, that the corners will not be rounded.

Line join

Definition of a line join style.
