    The Polygon command creates polygon shapes. Polygons can have up to 128 sides.

    Fusion has three types of polygons: inscribed, circumscribed, and edge. You create inscribed and circumscribed polygons based on a theoretical circle. You create edge polygons by specifying the endpoints of an edge and the location of the center.

       
    The vertex defines an Inscribed polygon. The midpoint of the edge defines a Circumscribed Polygon.

    Create an Inscribed polygon

    1. Place a point to define the center. A temporary circle displays to preview the polygon.
    2. Place a second point to define the location of a vertex.

       

    Create a Circumscribed polygon

    1. Place a point to define the center. A temporary circle displays to preview the polygon.
    2. Place a second point to define the location of the midpoint of an edge.

       

    Create an Edge polygon

    1. Place a point to define the location of an endpoint of an edge.
    2. Place a second point to define the length and orientation of the edge.
    3. Move the cursor to either side of the line and click to set the location of the center.

    NOTE: Set the number of sides before placing the points to improve the preview.
