Click the Draw | Shape | Rounded Rectangle command to create a rounded rectangle in the view window.
Rounded rectangles contain two types of properties: line properties and fill properties. You can change these properties in the Property Manager.
To draw a rounded rectangle:
Click the Draw | Shape | Rounded Rectangle command.
In the view window move the cross hair pointer to the location of the first corner of the rounded rectangle. Click and hold the left mouse button.
Drag the pointer to the opposite corner of the rounded rectangle.
Release the left mouse button when the rounded rectangle is the preferred size and shape.
Press ESC on the keyboard to end drawing mode.
To draw a square, hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard while dragging the mouse. A rounded square is drawn instead of a rounded rectangle.
If the CTRL key is pressed while drawing a rounded rectangle, a rounded square is drawn.
To cancel drawing a rounded rectangle, press the ESC key while the left mouse button is pressed.
You can edit the selected rounded rectangle properties in the Property Manager.
Line and fill default properties are set through the File | Options command.
