Your videos are very helpful. You could post a description of all you teach in each video. It would be easier to get back to the part when you don't remember how to do it

Hello, I try to draw the box but after double-clicking the dragged box, it is not drawing on the screen. What should I do in that case?

[maryamsadatghoreishi]

but when I double-click on the box the software recognizes it as a polygon, not the object! so, the corner and center table does not open and only it opens the polygon properties table with the coordinates of 4 different points. How can I solve this problem???
