The Draft Rectangle command creates a rectangle on the current working plane from two points.
The corners of a Draft Rectangle can be filleted (rounded) or chamfered by changing its DadosFillet Radius or DadosChamfer Size respectively. It is also possible to subdivide a Draft Rectangle by changing its DadosColumns and/or DadosRows property.

A Draft Rectangle object is derived from a Part Part2DObject and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
Draft
Area
): (read-only) specifies the area of the face of the rectangle. The value will be 0.0
if DadosMake Face if false
.Length
): specifies the length of the chamfers at the corners of the rectangle.Integer
): specifies the number of equal-sized columns in which the rectangle is divided.Length
): specifies the radius of the fillets at the corners of the rectangle.Distance
): specifies the height of the rectangle.Distance
): specifies the length of the rectangle.Bool
): specifies if the rectangle makes a face or not. If it is true
a face is created, otherwise only the perimeter is considered part of the object.Integer
): specifies the number of equal-sized rows in which the rectangle is divided.
Draft
Enumeration
): specifies the Draft Pattern with which to fill the face of the rectangle. This property only works if DadosMake Face is true
and if VistaDisplay Mode is Flat Lines
.Float
): specifies the size of the Draft Pattern.File
): specifies the path of the image file to be mapped onto the face of the rectangle. Blanking this property will remove the image. The rectangle should have the same proportions as the image to avoid distortions.See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
To create a Draft Rectangle use the make_rectangle
method (introduced in version 0.19) of the Draft module. This method replaces the deprecated makeRectangle
method.
rectangle = make_rectangle(length, height, placement=None, face=None, support=None)
rectangle
object with length
in the X direction and height
in the Y direction, with units in millimeters.placement
is None
the rectangle is created at the origin and the length will be parallel to the X axis.face
is True
, the rectangle will make a face, that is, it will appear filled.Example:
import FreeCAD as App
import Draft
doc = App.newDocument()
rectangle1 = Draft.make_rectangle(4000, 1000)
rectangle2 = Draft.make_rectangle(1000, 4000)
zaxis = App.Vector(0, 0, 1)
p3 = App.Vector(1000, 1000, 0)
place3 = App.Placement(p3, App.Rotation(zaxis, 45))
rectangle3 = Draft.make_rectangle(3500, 250, placement=place3)
doc.recompute()
