FREAKIN' RECTANGLE

how do i draw plane ol' rectangle with just putting in the length and width
parametars?

this one is anoying me for years now .... cause those options in the
rectangle command are not working for me

for example if i want to draw a window 140 x 80 cm in 2d using rectangle
command how do i do that?

 

I usually use one of a few different custom lisps to do rectangles.
For what you want I'd use this one:

(defun C:bx ( / a b c d)
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq ds1 (getreal "\nLength: "))
(setq ds2 (getreal "\nHeight: "))
(setq a (getpoint "\nStart Point: "))
(setq b (polar a 0.00 ds1))
(setq c (polar b (/ pi 2.0) ds2))
(setq d (polar c pi ds1))
(command "PLINE" a b c d "C")
(prin1)
)
(prompt "\n[ * LOADING COMPLETE * ]\n")
(prompt "\n[ * EXECUTABLE AutoLISP FUNCTION IS < BOX > * ]\n")
(prin1)

It generates from the lower left to the upper right in a normal ucs. I hav
often though about revising it to generate from the center of the box, as
you would want for column footings, but I'm too busy lately.
