The property panel displays the coordinates of inferior (Min) and superior (Max) points. the resulting bounding box can be created via a dedicated check-box Create Box. If this last is checked corresponding result and feature would be created.

If the check-box Create Box isn’t checked, Apply button does not generate any result and has the same effect as Cancel for this feature.

  1. select in the Main Menu Inspection - > Bounding box item or
