I am trying to create a rectangle to a specific dimension, how do I do that?

Hi,

>> create a rectangle to a specific dimension

Start command _RECTANGLE, pick or input the start-point and follow the options:

- alfred -

[Kent1Cooper]

Or, pick a point for the first corner, and then type in:

@YourXDimension,YourYDimension

Or, just start an ordinary PLINE command, pick a start point, and with Ortho turned on, haul the cursor in any of the 4 orthogonal directions, and type in the dimension in that direction, then in one of the perpendicular directions and type in that dimension, then in the opposite of the first direction and that dimension again, then Close.

[One of the main reasons that it's not a good idea to ask the same, or essentially the same, question in more than one thread, is that if you get a Solution in one  of them, someone else Searching with the same question may find the other  one, and not know there's a Solution available.]

Hi,

When using the RECTANGLE command, you have to enter absolute or relative coordinate values to define the size of the rectangle. You want to be able to give actual dimension values for the length and width of the rectangle. Click here
