Command line: POL, POLYGON
The command creates polygons with similar sides from closed polylines. A special case of equilateral polygon is a square.
The Explode command (from the Modify menu) allows transferring a polyline which polygon consists of, into segments.
Command options:
|
Edge |
Creates a polygon by its edge length. Edge length is specified by its endpoints. |
|
Inscribed |
Creates an inscribed polygon by specifying a radius of circle, where polygon endpoints lie. If you specify a radius by mouse in graphic area (point 2), at the same time a rotation angle of polygon is specified. |
|
Circumscribed |
Creates a circumscribed polygon by specifying a radius of circle, where middles of polygon’s edges lie. If you specify a radius by mouse in graphic area (point 2), at the same time a rotation angle of polygon is specified. |
