Quick Reference

You can create rectangles and regular polygons quickly. Creating polygons is a simple way to draw equilateral triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and so on.

If necessary, you can use EXPLODE to convert the resulting polyline object into lines.

Draw Rectangles

Use RECTANG to create closed polylines in a rectangular shape.

Draw Regular Polygons

Use POLYGON to create closed polylines with between 3 and 1,024 equal-length sides. The following illustrations show polygons created using three methods. In each case, two points are specified.
