EA, Edge Rectangle Absolute
This command defines and outlines a rectangle using absolute
coordinates. Use EA when drawing charts or schematic diagrams
that require rectangles.
EA X,Y[;]
The EA command defines and edges a rectangle using absolute
coordinates and the current pen, line type and line attributes. The
EA command performs an automatic pen down. When the command
execution is complete, the original pen location and up/down status
are restored.
z X,Y Coordinates — Specify the opposite corner of the rectangle
from the current pen location. The current pen location is the
starting point of the rectangle. Coordinates are interpreted in
current units: as user-units when scaling is on; as plotter units
when scaling is off.
Note The following illustration shows the current pen location in the lower
left corner and the command’s X,Y coordinates in the upper-right
corner. Depending on the coordinate values, the points can be in
any two diagonally opposite corners.
