Description
The 
Sketcher CreateSquare tool creates a square. introduced in version 0.22: This is the same tool as Sketcher CreateRegularPolygon but with the number of sides preset to 4.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
Square button. - Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create square option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: G then P, then 4.
- Press the
