Can this pen be configured into a rectangle rather than an octogaon?
200342
Yes, although a clever cat/dog could probably expand it back open completely. It doesn't"lock" in a rectangular shape.
200343
No. The configuration you see is what you get. But... I have to say, this "tent" for the dogs has been one of the best purchases we have ever made. We use it camping, and actually right now, for a safe place for my 15 year old Dachshund to recuperate, away from the other dog, from a neck injury.

No, I don't think it can be made into any other shape. The panel frames are made of flexible metal that kind of pop into place in the octogon shape, and I couldn't make them into any other shape. It kind of flattens together and folds up flat, for storage, though.
200345
Not really. It's a pop-up pen so it's either collapsed and flat/2D or it's in the octagon shape.
200346
no. it's more like a circle. it is what it is. a great product...I kept a mom cat and her two kittens safe from my dog for a few weeks until they were placed. the size was great because I could actually crouch down and enter it!

if you want to make it smaller the sides won't fold in enough to make just a 3 sided pen. so to answer your question no.

Yes. The panels of this pen are hinged for folding and storage. When setting up, you chose shape. Round,square, etc.

Not sure exactly what you mean. The package says you can use for zentangle and if you were drawing intricate details sure. The point is super fine but flows/writes smoothly.

I think it would be hard to create a detailed design due to pen "drag" picking up fibers. Simple design should work.

Since it can only draw inside of computer programs, yes. Think of it as a fancy mouse and you've got the right idea.

The catch is that the size would need to match. Therefore you would have to trim them down. This of course is very likely to make a horrible mess, unless you can find refills on mini-pens that are already close to the needed size. There are other mini-pens that telescope out that will be of similar sizes that are likely to be usable. Still, I cant imagine this being cost effective as one wouldnt normally expect to do THAT much writing with this little pen. :-)

No, because it's not flat on the plastic surface that you would want to write on; It's curved. It would be more of a hassle than it would be helpful.

you can, it will not be as precise as the pen though, ALSO NOTE: you can go into the settings and change how you want the screen to respond, to touch only, touch & pen, or pen only. I always sent mine to PEN ONLY so that I can rest my hand on the screen as I write and not have the objects jump all over the place.

No, it would be too tight a fit. Wouldn't be able to draw it out fast enough.

I don't know, but the pen is a piece of junk. The retract button stuck after the third or fourth click. Apparently it has happened to many other users as well. I sent it back for a refund. If your thinking of getting one, don't. If you already made the leap, then good luck!

Do not know that. It is a standard A end ( rectangle and B small square like end

Maybe, but not sure if you can do that with the graphite tip. It is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it because the pivoting pin might slip while drawing

It's possible, with some creative engineering. Remember these panel use a thin rod to connect the panels together so they won't stay straight across they will flex back and forth a little. A solution for that would be to run something long and straight at the bottom of all the panels and use cable ties to secure it to the panels and that will prevent them from flexing at their joints...Hope this helps. On the other hand these are awesome play pens and can be used in many different configurations along with cable ties the possibilities are endless. These are the nicest play pens I've ever found and use daily. It's possible, with some creative engineering.

I just tried it and it does. You should be able to "snap" the converter into the pen and twist... it's a bit shaky but doable.

Yes. You just turn the top section of the pen. One direction moves the pen tip, the other moves the stylus tip.

doubtful - its slotted at each end - you'd have to cut a curved rectangle as well
