3 Point Rectangle

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: The option to draw a rectangle using 3 points

Description: Add a 3-point option to the rectangle command so you can draw a perfect rectangle at another angle besides orthographic.

How Used: Everyone has to draw rectangles, and they are not always oriented orthographically. With the popularity of scanners and the ability to "trace" pictures in AutoCAD, tracing rectangular objects would be a snap even when they are rotated. Since CIRCLE has a 3 point option, you can select 3 places along the edge of a circle on your image which is easier than trying to guess where the center is. If RECTANGLE had a 3-point option, you could select 2 of the corners and drag the rectangle out dynamically to the third point.

Honestly andrea, do not respond to a request that way. If we all knew how to program lisp, we wouldn't need a wish list, now would we?

The RECTANGLE command does allow you to set the rotation during the command. It's not three consecutive points but it is three points with one option entered in the middle somewhere.
