You could use Draw > Shape > Rectangle with Size:
https://qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/refere ... tangleSize

Or use Draw > Shape > Rectangle:
https://qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/refere ... ectanglePP

Instead of clicking the second corner, you can type in a relative coordinate in the command line. For example, if the length is 150 and the width 100, type:

Code: Select all

@100,150
For more information about entering coordinate, please refer to:
