Drawing a Polygon

Use the Graphics Editor Polygon tool to draw a polygon, that is, a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments.

You draw a polygon when you need a closed multi-sided figure.

To draw a polygon:

1. In Graphics Editor, in the Layers pane, select the layer where you want to draw the polygon.
2. On the Drawing toolbar, click Polygon.
3. In the work area, click where you want to locate the corners of the polygon.
   
   
4. Double-click to close the polygon.
5. On the Drawing toolbar, click Select.
6. In the Properties pane, in the Name box, type the name of the polygon.
   

   NOTE: You only need to name the drawing object if you will be binding the object. Naming the object now will help you identify the object later.

   
   
7. On the Options toolbar or in the Properties pane, adjust the appearance of the polygon.
8. On the File menu, click Save.
