CorelDraw - Lesson 4: Draw a rectangle - a square
Rectangle Tool
To draw a rectangle, select the Rectangle Tool on the toolbar, the mouse pointer with the plus symbol and the lower right corner are rectangular. Drag the mouse diagonally any way we get a rectangle (figure 1, 2, 3).

When hovering over an object, the tool's cursor will indicate the information of the object such as a node, center, and point between (midpoint) and edge (Figure 4).
When the rectangle is drawn, the properties bar will show the information of the rectangle (size: width and height; border) (Figure 5).
To draw a rectangle from the center, press Shift and drag the mouse out.
To draw a square press Ctrl and drag the mouse out. To draw a square from the center, press Ctrl + Shift and drag the mouse.

To resize the rectangle, in the properties bar in the Object (s) Size box enter the size we get a new rectangle (Figure 6).
In the Left Rectangle Corner Roundness box or the Right Rectangle Corner Roundness box, make 4 corners of the rectangle.
Figure 7
The Round Corners Together icon emerges with a lock pattern that allows to circle each corner and vice versa to round the four corners at once, but the value just needs to be entered in one cell (Figure 7).
Click on the arrow pointing backward in the Outline Width box to select the border thickness.
The 3 Poin Rectangle Tool
To select the 3 Poin Rectangle Tool, click on the black triangle in the lower right corner of the Rectangle Tool and select the 3 Poin Rectangle Tool. Now the mouse pointer has the plus sign similar to the Rectangle Tool, but the rectangle is slightly different (the two upper edges are broken, while the lower two are solid) (Figure 8, 9).
