Please let me know how AutoCAD can find a length and a width of a rectangle ... knowing that the rectangle command does nothing else than creating a closed polyline using 4 points from a calculation out of 2 points. At the moment the polyline is created I don't know any command which knows a length and a width of a polyline with 4 points.   BTW: that's also why I guess DATAEXTRACTION can't do that with polylines, if you have block-insertions, then yes, but not from the objects created by command _RECTANGLE.   - alfred - Wed, 26 Aug 2015 20:44:28 GMT Alfred.NESWADBA 2015-08-26T20:44:28Z
