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.
