Hi, I want to draw a regular polygon with set size for the length of the side, for example the sides are 35mm long. I know I can select the polygon tool, hold shift and draw the polygon with a size and width but that doesn’t let me set the length of the side.
Thanks
Do you mean you want to set the length of a single segment of a polygon?
I can think of a couple of ways to accomplish this.
- Use math to determine how big the overall polygon needs to be to get the individual segment the size you want. Then use Numeric Edits Toolbar to scale appropriately.
- Create a new line with the length that you want the polygon segment to be. Then use 2-point rotate/scale (in Arrange menu) to rotate and scale one segment of the polygon against the reference line that you created.

Thank you. Your Point number 2 works well and is quick and easy.
