    Create a 3-point rectangle

    Create a rectangle using three user-specified points. The selected points define the position and size of the four lines.

    Parallel and perpendicular constraints are applied to the lines.

    NoteYou cannot infer a parallel or perpendicular constraint to existing sketch entities, but you can infer a horizontal or vertical constraint for the first side.
