I am in the process of modifying a pre-exsisting screen, I noticed through my travels there is a rectangle that has much more options listed than the new one i created. For instance: Existing Rectangle: North Edge Line Width East Edge Line Width etc… Rounding Radius Gradient Type Gradient Style etc… New Rectangle: Fill Paint Stroke Paint Stroke Style Is this a no longer supported rectangle? Im not sure how old the screen is but the options it has are missed. Any ideas? Thanks ---

this place is weird, sometimes someone responds but most of the time its dust bunnies. I’m better off just calling the support line ---

That's the rectangle created with the legacy rectangle tool, which has been replaced by the vector drawing tools. If you want to keep creating these old style rectangles you can copy/paste your existing one. If you need regular access to it, right click on the component palettes, create a new custom palette, and add the rectangle to it. > [@](#): > > this place is weird, sometimes someone responds but most of the time its dust bunnies.

Thanks Kevin, I wanted to make sure it was supported. Is it recommend to just use the new rectangles? I actually prefer the way the old one use gradients, etc… Thanks again! ---

Well… the old ones will always continue to work, but I hesitate to recommend you keep using something that’s essentially been deprecated when there’s a replacement available. There’s a gradient tool available in the vector stuff too. In the end though it’s up to you. ---

I guess this is a cross reference in my posts, i replaced the old rectangles with the new ones and thats when the slow down occurred FYI. ---

I was just speaking with the support line, looks like its an issue with the way java on my MAC works. I ran the screen on a windows machine and it works perfectly. Thanks again for the help!
