[Solved] Drawing a Polygon

Post by RobB » Wed May 19, 2021 12:24 pm

I want to draw a six sided polygon using Polygon, Center, side.
The menu in the toolbar allows to set the number of corners in addition to the radius, which I give a value and select it.
This should make it a one click setting.
I click the center, which starts the polygon, but it still insists on setting the distance to the side, instead of taking my preset radius value.
Anything else I need to do, to pickup my preset radius value?

The "radius" value is a corner round over option (It can be checked and unchecked) that can be turned on and off. It doesn't specify the distance from the center to the perimeter of the polygon.
