rotated rectangle question

[wavlas]

Is there a way (preference) for the object info box to show actual dimensions (x&y) for a rotated rectangle instead of the original with the angle indicated. It seems you must make the rectangle a polygon for this to work. When quickly doing schematics, we use rectangles a lot then duplicating & rotating & reproportioning, etc. Polygons are not as quick.

First instituted in Vectorworks 2008, the rectangle tool creates a rectangle that stays a rectangle even after it is rotated.

I created this as a tool and it works well.
