1.1.1.3.1.15. Sketcher: Insert polygon Revision
[Note]Note

This feature is only officially available for future versions and is only an internal test version with V12.13 and is therefore hidden in the standard version.

The Insert polygon function in Sketcher has been fundamentally revised and will replace the old way of using it as soon as it is released.

Polygon" function in the Sketcher

Polygon" function in the Sketcher

The creation of a polygon has been significantly simplified:

  1. With the first click, you can determine the center point [Center point] by clicking on a reference point [Reference point] or a freely selected formula point [Formula point].

  2. The second click determines the angle and the location of one of the corners, both of which can be changed for formula points in the Edit element dialog box.

    A corner of the polygon will lie at the position of the mouse pointer and thus determine the start angle [Start angle] (which you can change later in the Edit element dialog). If the point is horizontal, the start angle [Start angle] is 0°.

  3. Change the Type, Radius/edge length, Angle and Quantity [Amount] as well as the Center point X and Center point Y for formula points as required.

Find out more about the "Polygon" function in the Section 7.9.3.6, “ Forms -> Special ” in eCATALOG 3Dfindit chapter.
