First Corner point: Specifies first corner point of rectangle.
Chamfer: Sets the chamfer distance of rectangle. (C enter)
Elevation: specifies the elevation of rectangle. (E enter)
Fillet: specifies the fillet radius of rectangle. (F enter)
Width: specifies the width of rectangle. (W enter)

Specify other corner point or [Area/Dimensions/Rotation]:

Other corner point: specifies diagonally opposite corner point.
Area: Makes the rectangle of specified by area. you have to specify either length or breadth of rectangle along with area. (A enter)

Enter area of rectangle in current units <100.0000>: specify area of rectangle

How to draw objects faster with perfect precision in AutoCAD | Object snap| polar tracking | Tracking method | Direct distance entry

Hello Friends, This blog covers topic basesd on object snap tracking, polar tracking, direct distance entry, tracking method for drafting drawing without any any errors at faster speed. OBJECT SNAP TRACKING: Object snap tracking (F11) works when object snap option (F3) is kept on. object snap tracks various points of object such as end point, mid point, intersection of two objects etc. they are also used to draw parallel lines and perpendicular lines with to respect to a given object. You can get object snap and object snap tracking option under drafting settings for which you can press "DS" in command box. below diagram shows all the snap points which Autotrack uses. While tracking any objects a "+" sign is displayed on tracking point with a green extension line with a "x" mark. POLAR TRACKING: In autoCAD ortho mode makes it possible to track in vertical or horizontal direction with increment angle as 0, 90, 180, 270. how ever we can set out increme...

How to use direct distance entry system

DIRECT DISTANCE ENTRY (Command modifier) This will locate the next point at a specified distance along the direction of your cursor. When it prompts for "specify next point" , enter a numeric value. With direct distance entry system you can specify the next point relative to previous point your previous point on which you were working. At any prompt for specifying other point, move your cursor to specify the direction and then enter a numeric value to create or move any object. In the following example, the second point for the line will be located 5 units toward the direction of the cursor. The direct distance that you enter is measured along the path from the last point to the current location of the cursor. This feature is usually used with Ortho or Snap mode turned on. E...
