Center of Polygon (POLYGON)

Defines the center of the polygon.

Specify the distance from the center of the polygon to the midpoints of the polygon segments.

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 keyboard entry draws the bottom edge of the polygon at the current snap rotation.

Edge (POLYGON)

Defines a polygon by specifying the endpoints of the first edge.

First endpoint of edge: Specify a point (1)
Second endpoint of edge: Specify a point (2)

A polygon is a polyline object. AutoCAD LT draws polylines with zero width and no tangent information. You can use the PEDIT command to change these values.

Related Commands: PEDIT edits polylines. PLINE creates open or closed two-dimensional polylines.
System Variables: POLYSIDES stores the current number of polygon sides.
