      How do you draw a rectangle or 5- or 6-sided shape with different lengths on each side? We're trying to map out our yard for landscaping purposes.

      Thx

        you would have to do that manually with the pencil tool. measuring corner to corner cross wise and edge lengths is probably the best.

          Hi folks.

          You will need to get some angles beside the length of the edges, otherwise your polygon will be undefined if it has more than 3 sides.

          To alleviate the need for angles, you can use triangulation.

          After dividing you lot in adjacent triangles, you can draw it using SU and a few tricks to draw triangles defined by 3 sides. These tricks avoids doing any calculations.

          Just ideas.
