Creating rectangles and
squares
To create a rectangle:

Use the Quickshape Tool (described above).

Or use the Rectangle Tool ("Shift+ F3", or "M").
This is a simplified version of the Quickshape
Tool with only options relevant to rectangles and squares.
Creating a square
To create a square rather than a rectangle, hold down "Ctrl" while dragging.
Editing rounded corner rectangles
There is one special difference when using the Rectangle Tool: Normally, if you create a rectangle with
rounded corners, the corners are perfect segments of a circle. If a rectangle is now resized with the
Selector Tool so that the aspect ratio is changed, the corners are not circular any more.
In the Rectangle Tool, rounded corner
rectangles can be resized (including aspect ratio
changes) while maintaining the circular corners.
Retain rounded corners by resizing in the Rectangle Tool.
