Drawing rectangles and squares

CorelDRAW lets you draw rectangles and squares. You can draw a rectangle or square by dragging diagonally or draw a rectangle by specifying the width and height. After you draw a rectangle or square, you can reshape it by rounding one or more of its corners.

You can create a rectangle by drawing its baseline first and then its height.
