XLEN value [DESIGN]

YLEN value [DESIGN]

Design option applies to VNOT members only

SQUARE value [DESIGN]

Sets XLEN and YLEN to value specified.

XLEN @

YLEN @           

Uses relevant offset from origin of primitive to define XLEN or YLEN as required.

XLEN X value Y value

YLEN X value Y value

Manual method

THROUGH @

THRU @

Prompts: Input a point on the current Sheet

Sets XLEN and YLEN so that a corner of the rectangle is positioned at the point specified.

THR X value Y value

Manual method

FRADIUS value [DESIGN]

Sets FRAD to value specified. If this is too big for the existing XLEN or YLEN values then a warning is output and the rectangle is drawn square-cornered. FRAD is set as specified and is used when XLEN and YLEN are made large enough.

Redefine the Origin

As for ELLIPSE, but also:

ORIG TLEFT

ORIG TRIGHT

ORIG BLEFT

ORIG BRIGHT

Create Rectangles and Squares

Rectangles can be created using the commands:

ADEFine  dfnpt1 dfnpt2

Defines a rectangle where dfnpt1 defines a position (2D, 3D, p-point) which is the center of the rectangle, and dfnpt2 defines the position of a corner.

ASDEFine  dfnpt1 dfnpt2

Defines a square where dfnpt1 defines the center of the rectangle, and dfnpt2 defines the position of a corner.

SDEFine  dfnpt1 dfnpt2

Defines a square where dfnpt1 and dfnpt2 define the positions of the corners

For example:

ADEF X400 Y400 X500 Y450

Defines a RECT 200 by 100 with its center at X400 Y400 and a corner at X500 Y450.

SDEF X400 Y400 X500 Y450

Defines a RECT 100 square with one corner at X400 Y400 and the other at X500 Y500.

ASDEF X400 Y400 X500 Y450

Defines a RECT 200 square with its center at X400 Y400 and a corner at X500 Y500.

These commands can also be used with the cursor, for example:

ADEFine @

A prompt requests two 2D points to be input.

All other operations are as for Circles. See CIRCLE (CIRC).
