This function allows you to draw a  polygon on the inside an imaginary circle, with the radius indicated in the Control Bar.

You draw the polygon by setting the number of sides, entering the first point and dragging the polygon to the required size. The radius of the imaginary circle, and the angle at which to draw the polygon, may also be inserted to draw the polygon to a specific size.  You may change the polygon's characteristics by changing the values in the CAD Bar before entering the corner point of the polygon.

You can use [Tab] to move between the prompt boxes to set the number of Sides, Radius and Angle.
