To draw a perfect square:

  1. Make the layer that you want to work with editable. On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Layers from the list, to open the Layers window.

    You can also see map layers in the Explorer window.

    Click the Editable icon beside the layer name to turn On editing.

    Click the Selectable icon beside the layer name to turn On selection.

  2. On the SPATIAL tab, in the Create group, click Insert, and Rectangle.
  3. Move the Rectangle cursor to where you want to begin creating the rectangle.
  4. Press the Shift key while using the Rectangle command.

Rectangles are closed figures that are filled using the default fill pattern and color. Set the style on the SPATIAL tab, in the Create group, by clicking Region Style from the Style list.
