Circles, Rectangles, and Polygons

Drawing a Circle, Rectangle, or Polygon on the Map

You can add area objects (circles, rectangles, and polygons) to a draw file in your
current project. Area objects are those objects consisting of one or more closed line
objects.
• Use circles to designate circular map features.
• Use rectangles to designate land boundaries or any other rectangular map
feature.
• Use polygons to designate water bodies, land boundaries, or any other
irregular map feature.
Once you have created an area draw object, you can edit (including reshaping or
changing line color or weight), copy, move, or delete it at any time.
Note The best way to measure a large area on the map is with the circle, rectangle,
and polygon tools in the Draw tab. When you draw an area object on the map, the
area displays next to the object on the map. If you click off of the object, you can
view the area again by clicking the Select tool in the Draw tab and then clicking the
area object on the map.
