Add Polygons

Use the Add Polyline/Bezier Shape function to draw a polygonal graphic object in a view. Polygons are complex shape graphic objects. Segments of the outline can be converted into curves and edited with the Beziers points.

Note: We do not recommend the use of complex line styles for curves.
