Drawing a Polygon

To add a closed polygon to a schematic:

  1. Click Draw > Primitive > Polygon or click the Polygon icon under Graphics on the Schematic ribbon.

This enables the Polygon drawing mode.

  1. Move the cursor to the desired location in the schematic and left click to draw the first vertex.
  2. Move the cursor to the desired location for each subsequent vertex and left-click.

This draws a straight blue line between the designated vertices, and a straight black line between the last vertex specified and the first.

  1. Right-click to complete the polygon.

The polygon remains selected, with the drag handles visible at the vertices. If necessary, you can select a handle to drag any vertex.

The polygon includes a Properties window in which you can edit the polygon’s properties, including: border color, border width, fill style, fill color, and coordinates of the vertices.

  1. Click anywhere on the schematic off the polygon to deselect it.
