With the Rectangle tool still selected, position the pointer above the rectangle you
drew on the artboard and click.
The Rectangle dialog box appears. In the Rectangle dialog box, the width and
height values that you see match the last shape drawn.
Tip
You also could have simply copied and pasted the original rectangle and
changed its size and position. You can also Option-drag (Mac OS) or Alt-
drag (Windows) a shape to create a copy.
