What is Box Mode?
Box Mode allows you to quickly draw a rectangular measurement when using the Area or Linear tool.
Instead of clicking multiple points to trace a shape, Box Mode lets you define a rectangle by selecting just two opposite corners.
How Box Mode works
When Box Mode is enabled:
Select the Area or Linear tool
Turn on Box Mode
Click one corner of the area
Click the opposite corner
The rectangle is automatically completed.
When should I use Box Mode?
Box Mode is helpful when measuring:
Rectangular slabs or pads
Square rooms
Straight runs with right angles
Any simple rectangular surface
For irregular shapes, turn off Box Mode and trace manually.
