Draw a polyline or a polygon

Draw a polyline, polygon, or a geometrical shape using the Draw line tool available in the CAD Editor. Join lines to form a polygon or a shape.

Before you begin

For example, if you want to create a geometrical shape to form a room, you can use the Draw Line tool to draw the vertices. Similarly, resolve missing polylines in a polygon or add a missing polygon by drawing a line and joining the nodes.
