the acad command works on two points ~ the start point and the opposite corner.
To create a rotated rectangle you would need at least 3 inputs ~ the start point, the opposite corner and the rotation/picked angle from startpoint. (or create a temporary UCS)
It would be relatively easy to write something to do it.
AutoCAD has always been my Cad program of choice. I was taught it over 14 years ago! The other system I only use when I cant get an AutoCAD job! However, there are a few commands I used in Microstation that I liked, rotated rectangle being one of them.
I am not a programmer... I desparately want to learn, have got a few books about Lisp and VBA, but I can never seem to get the time to put into it.
btw how many clicks/points did you have to pick in Mickeystation to create the rotated rectangle
Thinking back, I believe beyond setting the command and the "active angle" it was 2 opposite corners. I'll have to look when I'm home, just to try and get back into it!
Thanks for your input
