Description

Creates a closed polyline in the shape of an equal-sided polygon. Options allow you to specify the center, number of sides, edge length and angle, and the distance from the center to the vertex or midpoint of an edge.

  1. Center of polygon
  2. First endpoint edge
  3. Second endpoint edge
  4. Vertex
  5. Midpoint of side
  6. Edge length
  7. Angle of polygon

Method

This command creates a polygon with these basic steps:

  • Set number of sides.
  • Set center of polygon.
  • Select vertex point.

Options within the command

Set number of sides
Allows you to begin creating a polygon by specifying the number of sides between 3 and 1024.
Set center of polygon
Specifies the center point of the polygon.
Select midpoint of side
Specifies the location of the midpoint of a polygon line segment. The location of the midpoint defines the size and angle of the polygon.
Width of line
Specifies the width of the polygon line segments. All segments have the same width.
Multiple Polygons
Creates multiple polygons with the same size and orientation when using the Set center of polygon option. Continue placing polygons until you press Enter to end the command.
specify by Edge
Specifies the endpoints of one edge of the polygon to define its size and angle.
specify by Vertex
Specifies the location of a vertex of the polygon. The location of the vertex defines the size and angle of the polygon.
