Square Tool

The Square Tool adds rectangles and squares to Plans. Squares drawn will not add quantities to Measurements. If quantities are required, please use Length and / or Area Tools. Relocate the annotation bar by click, holding and dragging.

Depending on the screen size, the location of buttons and functionality may be different from that in this article.
