Hi,
I think that you mean Create Polyline from ... Segments (OG)/Selection (OC)
Menu .. Draw .. Polyline ..
QCAD will reqognise squares and rectangle shapes.
See 'Size' property in Property Editor.

For positioning one can also select connected entities ... Double click one of the segments.
Moving with reference point snapping to Middle Manual and two extreme positions.

Regards,
CVH
