if you need rectangle try RECTANGLE command: Command: RECTANGLE Specify first corner or [Chamfer/Fillet]: Specify other corner or [Area/Dimensions/Rotation]: A Enter rectangle area in current units <100>: 80.0 Calcolate the rectangle dimensions based on [Length/Width] <Length>: Length Enter length for rectangle <10>: gam17 > Dear all, > > I want to create a polygon of a specific size.
