Polygon
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter number of sides <current>: Enter a value between 3 and 1024 or press Enter
Specify center of polygon or [Edge]: Specify a point (1) or enter e
Center of Polygon
Defines the center of the polygon.
Enter an option [Inscribed in circle/Circumscribed about circle] <current>: Enter i or c or press Enter
- Inscribed in Circle
-
Specifies the radius of a circle on which all vertices of the polygon lie.
Specify radius of circle: Specify a point (2) or enter a value
Specifying the radius with your pointing device determines the rotation and size of the polygon. Specifying the radius with a value draws the bottom edge of the polygon at the current snap rotation angle.
- Circumscribed about Circle
-
Specifies the distance from the center of the polygon to the midpoints of the edges of the polygon.
Specify radius of circle: Specify a distance
Specifying the radius with your pointing device determines the rotation and size of the polygon. Specifying the radius with a value draws the bottom edge of the polygon at the current snap rotation angle.
Edge
Defines a polygon by specifying the endpoints of the first edge.
Specify first endpoint of edge: Specify a point (1)
Specify second endpoint of edge: Specify a point (2)
-
You can specify the different parameters of the polygon including the number of sides. The difference between the inscribed and circumscribed options is shown.
