Rectangle and other closed counter loops are type of polygon i.e. closed counters with more than or equal to three sides. The AutoCAD Polygon command provide a much faster method of drawing a polygon (all side of polygon and angle subtended by them at center are same or equal ).
The given step guide how to work with the AutoCAD Polygon command:-
First: Click AutoCAD Polygon command from the drop-down Draw panel of Ribbon in home tab , or type [POL Enter].
AutoCAD starts the Polygon command and asks you enter the number of sides for the polygon.like this
Enter number of sides <4>:
Second: Type the number of side of the polygon to be drawn and then Enter.
Your polygon make a polygon have sides ranging from 3 to 1,024 .
AutoCAD ask you to mention the center point of the polygon.like this
[Specify center of polygon] or [Edge]:
Or
You can use the Edge option to draw Polygon by mentioning length of side of the polygon
Third: click the center point on drawing canvas or insert coordinates(x,y).
AutoCAD asks you to mention whether the Polygon is inscribed circle whose radius you specify in fifth Step (the vertex of the Polygon will be on the boundary or circumference of the circle) or circumscribed circle (the sides of AutoCAD Polygon will be tangent to circle).
Command line shows this:
Enter an option [Inscribed in circle/Circumscribed about circle] <I>:
The command line ask you to mention radius of an virtual circle.
mention the radius of circle and Enter.
Fifth: mention the radius by inputting distance or clicking point on drawing canvas.
AutoCAD draws AutoCAD Polygon.
If you input the distance or you click point on drawing canvas with [Ortho Mode] turned on, the polygon will align perpendicularly.
This is all in AutoCAD Polygon.
Thank You.
