[ Feature Request ] Sketch: Rectangle tool working like the slot one
a good enhancement in sketcher is the ability to create quickly an oriented/inclined rectangle without removing the internal alignment.
A rectangle tool that works like the slot one, in which the contextual constraints lead your intent
what do you think?

I understand this differently, and it is already implemented: Sketcher RemoveAxesAlignment.adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 1:27 pm this request already exists: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/7221

No, the request is for a new rectangle creation tool that allows creating tilted rectangles, it is not the same as remove axes alignment. Check the linked forum discussion: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=70367
interestingly you, Piero69 and I also participated in that discussion, so this is incredibly redundant

yes, my request is just to eliminate the current "double/triple step" to make a thing...chrisb wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 1:38 pmI understand this differently, and it is already implemented: Sketcher RemoveAxesAlignment.adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 1:27 pm this request already exists: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/7221
1) sketch a rectangle 2)RemoveAxesAlignment, 3)position the rectangle and give an angular constraint
with a tool working like slot is more immediate
rectangle by three point like suggest by @adrianinsaval is good and immediate

Re: [ Feature Request ] Sketch: Rectangle tool working like the slot one
you also have to add perpendicular constraint between the edges if yo want it to remain a rectangle after removing the axis alignment
Re: [ Feature Request ] Sketch: Rectangle tool working like the slot one
While you are waiting you are welcome to try the RoundedRectngle script I wrote a while back.
I think it creates rectangles as you desire.

No, they are created automatically. Perhaps you run an old FreeCAD?adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 2:05 pm you also have to add perpendicular constraint between the edges if yo want it to remain a rectangle after removing the axis alignment
Before: after applying "remove axis alignment". Even the vertical distance is correctly replaced:
