Yes, but the reason that I had a circle there because your initial question in this thread was about a circle :)

You wouldn't really want to try and draw a rectangle manually around something like that with the Rect from center tool, you would want to have a command generate that for you.

Yes, it would be basically like making that scale/rotate edit frame but as an rectangle curve object if you had all planar shapes, or as a box if you had 3D objects.

I'll see about cooking up a special command for that for the next beta.
