Description

Draws an heptagon inscribed in a construction geometry circle. When starting the tool, the mouse pointer changes to a white cross with a red hexagon icon. The coordinates of the pointer are shown beside it in blue in real time.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Heptagon button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create heptagon option from the menu.
    • The keyboard shortcut: G then P, 7.
  2. Click once to set the center, then move the mouse and click a second time to set one of the vertices.
  3. Pressing Esc or clicking the right mouse button cancels the function.

Notes

The circumscribed circle is construction geometry, which is only visible when editing the sketch.
