Type the next point coordinate (3,2)
Type the next point coordinate (3,6)
Type the next point coordinate (8,6)
Type the next point coordinate (8,7)
Type the next point coordinate (2,7)
Click on the close option in the command bar

2. Relative rectangular coordinates method

Create a new drawing from the dropdown menu
Select the imperial system and decimal units
Type L in the command bar to activate the line tool
