Add Metalization => Draw Rectangle

Project Editor - Tools Menu - Add Metalization

Selecting Tools => Add Metalization => Draw Rectangle provides you with a quick way to create rectangular polygons. Once the rectangle is added to the circuit, it is subsequently treated like any other polygon with no restrictions.

1.   After selecting the add command, place the cursor where you want one corner of the rectangle to be.

2.   Drag the cursor to form an outline of the desired rectangle.

3.   When the rectangle is the size and dimensions you want, release the mouse button to draw the rectangle in your circuit.

If you wish to add more than one rectangle at a time, press the shift key while making the menu selection. This will leave you in Add Metalization => Draw Rectangle until you explicitly exit this mode.

You may enter the location of the points used to create a rectangle using the keyboard, see Keyboard Entry of Points and Polygons for details.

Shortcut Key:      Ctrl-R
