CAD drafting PolygonPlus 6 Command line: CPOLYGON

The command allows you to construct three types of polygons: circumscribed polygon, inscribed polygon, star.

CAD software PolygonPlus 7

When you start the command, the Extended Properties bar appears:

CAD drawing PolygonPlus 8

To construct a polygon, specify the following properties:

·          number of vertices;

·          polygon type: circumscribed polygon, inscribed polygon, star;

·          coordinates of the center point;

·          polygon dimensions.

Coordinates and dimensions can be specified on the screen with the mouse cursor or entered as values in the corresponding fields. Entered values can be fixed by checking the corresponding box to the right of the field: CAD drafting PolygonPlus 9 - fixed value; CAD software PolygonPlus 10 - not fixed value. To specify dimensions on the screen with the mouse cursor, click the CAD drawing PolygonPlus 11 button.

Polygon properties can be set via the command line.
