Re: drawing a non-orthogonal rectangle on a WP

May be I'm too stupid.. but I hope I'm not!

A rectangle is orthogonal.. meaning the adjacent lines are perpendicular. A a non-orthogonal rectangle would have angles <> 90 degree.. So it would not be a rectangle any more.

I assume you would like to draw a parallelogram, or may be an isosceles trapezoid. But first can not be defined by two points. You need 3 points. So pressing ALT is not an option.

If you like to draw a parallelogram, draw a rectangle and stretch one of the lines (select complete line to get BOTH ends).
