Creating Simple square

Post by Paul Wood »

What is the easiest way to create a square around a centre point, you can do this when creating a circle with centre point and radius, circumference, diameter etc...

I'd use the CAD Polygon tool Circumscribed:

Specify "4" sides and then type in a point relative to the centre with "r 50 0", for a square with 100m sides.

Is there a simple way to type in side lengths and bearing?

Okay, instead of typing in a relative coordinate, you can type in a bearing & distance, with "bd 90 50". This will give the same square with 100m sides.
