List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Specify first corner or [Center]: Specify a point or enterc for center

Specify other corner or [Cube/Length]: Specify the other corner of the box or enteran option

If the other corner of the box is specified with a Z value that differs from the first corner, then no height prompt is displayed.

Specify height or [2Point] <default>: Specify the height or enter 2P for the 2 Point option

Entering a positive value draws the height along the positive Z axis of the current UCS. Entering a negative value draws the height along the negative Z axis.

The base of the box is always drawn parallel to the XY plane of the current UCS (workplane). The height of the box is specified in the Z-axis direction. You can enter both positive and negative values for the height.

Center

Creates the box by using a specified center point.

Cube: Creates a box with sides of equal length.
Length: Creates a box with length, width, and height values you specify. The length corresponds to the X axis, the width to the Y axis, and the height to the Z axis.

Cube

Creates a box with sides of equal length.

Length

Creates a box with length, width, and height values you specify. If you enter values, the length corresponds to the X axis, the width to the Y axis, and the height to the Z axis. If you pick a point to specify the length, you also specify the rotation in the XY plane.

2Point

Specifies that the height of the box is the distance between the two specified points.
