Draw Regular Polygons
Use POLYGON to create closed polylines with between 3 and 1,024
equal-length sides. The following illustrations show polygons created using
three methods. In each case, two points are specified.

Draw Freehand Sketches
Sketching is useful for creating irregular boundaries or for tracing with a
digitizer.
Draw freehand sketches with the SKETCH command. Freehand sketches
comprise many line segments that are converted into a line, polyline, or spline.
For Splines, you can determine how closely the spline's curve fits to the
freehand sketch.
For any sketch type, set the minimum length (increment) of the line segments.
Small line segments allow greater accuracy, but they can greatly increase the
drawing file size.
Before sketching, check the CELTYPE system variable to make sure the current
linetype is BYLAYER. When you sketch with dot or dash linetypes, smaller
line segments can become invisible.
