  1. From the Sketch section of the action bar, click Parallelogram .
    Tools Palette displays the values for defining the first side of the oriented rectangle (both points) and then either one point on the second side or directly the oriented rectangle height.
  2. In the H and V boxes of the Tools Palette, specify the coordinates for the first corner and press Enter.
  3. In the H and V boxes of the Tools Palette, specify the coordinates for the second corner and press Enter.
  4. In the H and V boxes of the Tools Palette, specify the coordinates for the third corner and press Enter.

The parallelogram and corresponding constraints are created.

Tip: In this task, we used Tools Palette but you can also create a parallelogram manually. To do this, move the pointer to activate SmartPick and click as soon as you get the required coordinates.
