[Feature Request] : Sketch "Rectangle by centre"

Post by Piero69 »

i feel useful that the rectangle entity in sketch could be have also the centre as reference. An idea is having the diagonals (construction lines) with the intersection point as reference. This allows to fix immediatly the rectangle in the centre of something ...

It went into master at the weekend but was only available from Git version 25135 onwards, the way it's been coded by @abdullah is slightly different to your example but works with an existing vertex or origin.
