Freehand Polygon

Source file: freehand-polygon.htm

The freehand polygon tool simplifies polygon drawing because it does not depend on a point selection. The tool only requires an entry or start point and then with a mouse or a similar input peripheral, draw the polygon desired.

Note:  Where the mouse moves over an object, the freehand polygon is drawn on the object. Where it moves over empty space, the polygon is drawn on the action plane.

1. On the Create ribbon tab, go to the Draw group. From the Polygon drop-down list select Freehand Polygon.

2. Either enter a specific location for a start point in the status bar or click on a spot where the polygon will begin, release the mouse button and draw the polygon.

   

3. Left-click or right-click to complete the polygon.

4. Press Esc or click in the status bar to exit the function, otherwise continue creating new lines.

   The polygon is saved in the cad container and displayed in the active view window.
