Curve: Create Rectangle(Wire) 2D

 

 

 

 

Function

Create Rectangles of the wire type.  It is only applicable on the Work Plane.

 

 

 

 

Call

Geometry > Curve > Create on WP > Rectangle(Wire)

 

 

 

 

<Rectangle>

Location

Enter the coordinates of the locations.  The coordinates are expressed in different forms noted below.
 

Create a Rectangle by specifying the coordinates of one corner point [(ABS x, y)] and a diagonally opposite corner point [(ABS x, y), (REL dx, dy)].
 

Create a Rectangle by specifying the coordinates of a first corner point [(ABS x, y)], a second corner point [(ABS x, y), (REL dx, dy)] and a length [(Length)] sequentially.
 

<Methods of Entering Coordinates>

ABS x, y

Enter 2-D coordinates for an absolute location on the Work Plane.
REL dx, dy

Enter a relative distance from the last point entered in the 2D coordinates of the Work Plane.
Length

Enter a length.

 

When we enter coordinates using the mouse, the coordinates are automatically entered by a left-click on the desired point, without having to press the Apply button.  However, when coordinates are typed in, either the Enter key or the Apply button needs to be pressed.

 

Make Face

Create a Face for a Rectangle using Plane Patch.  This operation will not create a Rectangle of the wire type

 

 

 

 

Notes

 

When 3-D coordinates are selected in 3-D space using Snap, the program will automatically project the point into 2-D coordinates of the Work Plane.

 

Example: Create Rectangle

2 Diagonal Corners

 

 

 

 

<Instruction>
