Welcome to our tutorial series on AutoCAD! Today, we're going to delve into the world of polygons and show you how to create them easily. Let's get started.
Polygons are versatile shapes that can be used in various design projects. They offer flexibility, allowing you to customize your drawings according to your specific needs.
When creating a polygon, AutoCAD gives you two options: Inscribed and Circumscribed about a circle. Here's how they differ:
1.Inscribed in Circle: This option allows you to create a polygon that fits inside a circle with the specified radius. The polygon's vertices will touch the circumference of the circle.
2.Circumscribed about Circle: This option creates a polygon whose sides form the diameter of a circle with the specified radius. The center of the circle lies at the centroid (center point) of the polygon.
If you want to specify the length of each edge of the polygon, here's how:
1. Click on the Polygon tool again.
2. Enter the number of sides as before.
3. This time, choose theEdgeoption.
4. Specify the first end point of the edge.
5. Enter the desired length.
6. Your new polygon will be created according to your specifications!
Now that you know how to create polygons in AutoCAD, it's time to put your new skills into practice! Start exploring different shapes and sizes, and see what amazing designs you can create.
A: The command for the Polygon tool isPOL. You can also typePin the command line to invoke it.
A: Unfortunately, you cannot change the number of sides of a polygon after its creation. To create a different polygon, you'll need to delete the existing one and start over.
A: Yes! While we covered regular polygons in this tutorial, you can also create irregular polygons by defining each vertex point individually. Simply enter each vertex point using thePOLVERTEXcommand.
Let's discuss your project and find the best solution for your business.
