Click Polygon from the Rectangle drop-down list on the Draw panel of the Home tab, or type POL and press Enter. AutoCAD starts the polygon command and prompts you to enter the number of sides for the polygon. Type the number of sides for the polygon that you want to draw and then press Enter. You can use the Edge option to draw a polygon by specifying the length of one side instead of the center and then the radius of an imaginary inscribed or circumscribed circle. The imaginary circle method is much more common. You can use the Edge option to draw a polygon by specifying the length of one side instead of the center and then the radius of an imaginary inscribed or circumscribed circle. The imaginary circle method is much more common. Type I (for inscribed) or C (for circumscribed), and press Enter. Specify the radius by typing a distance or clicking a point. AutoCAD draws the polygon. If you type a distance or you click a point with Ortho Mode turned on, the polygon will align orthogonally.
