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
- After pressing the
Create heptagon button, click once to set the center, then move the mouse and click a second time to set one of the vertices.
- 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.
