Draw a Rectangle
You can create rectangles and squares with the Rectangle command in
AutoCAD Mechanical. This function gives you a convenient and flexible way
to place rectangles at the specific positions with no further modification to
your design.
Try It: Draw a Rectangle
You can select the rectangle from the Rectangle toolbar or press ENTER at the
Rectangle command options to open the Rectangles dialog box.
For this exercise, attach a circular plate beside the gland you created. Select
the rectangle with the height-middle insertion point. Locate its middle point,
and specify its full base as 14 mm and its full height as 76 mm.
