Now, select one point of the Hexagon’s side. Then, type E to specify the polygon’s Edge. Now, to draw the Pentagon, again type in POL on the command line.
Next, select Circumscribed about circle (or type C on the command line). Secondly, type in 6 for the number of sides. First, to start with the Hexagon, type in POL to trigger the POLYGON command. More particularly a Pentagon that has a common side with a Hexagon circumscribed about a circle with a radius of 2. Lastly, shall we combine the two methods of drawing polygons and draw a combined figure? Draw Combined Pentagon and Hexagon in AutoCAD Lastly, when prompted to Specify second endpoint of edge: using the mouse, specify a direction and type in the length of the polygon side.Īnd this was the way to draw a figure (Octagon) with a specific side length in AutoCAD. Now, instead of selecting a center of the figure, specify the first endpoint of one of the sides on the screen. AutoCAD will prompt us to Specify center of polygon or :, we type E. When prompted, specify the number of sides. Secondly, we will draw a new polygon this time an Octagon with a specific side length, as shown below: The polygon will be drawn on the screen, Easy right? Draw a polygon with a specific side length Lastly, type in the radius of the polygon and hit Enter. Next, Type I or C for inscribed or Circumscribed, then hit Enter. Now, Left-click on the screen to specify the center point. Type on the command line POLYGON or POL. Draw inscribed or circumscribed polygon in AutoCADįirst, we will draw a figure, for example, a hexagon inscribed or circumscribed by specifying the radius. The maximum number of sides available to create a polygon in AutoCAD is 1024. A triangle is a figure with three sides, and an octagon is a figure with eight sides. The categories of the polygon are triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, etc.
In AutoCAD, a figure with equal sides and a finite number of line segments connected to form a closed circuit is called POLYGON. For an easier understanding, we will look in detail at how to draw encircled/circumscribed 2D shapes using outer radius and how to draw 2d shapes using specific side lengths. In today’s post, this is the question we will be answering. But how for example to draw a hexagon or pentagon or even an octagon in AutoCAD? There are some times that we need to draw a specific simple 2D shape in AutoCAD as part of something bigger.
