Description

The Sketcher CreateHeptagon tool creates a heptagon. introduced in version 0.22: This is the same tool as Sketcher CreateRegularPolygon but with the number of sides preset to 7.

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Heptagon button.
- Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create heptagon option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: G then P, then 7.
For further steps see Sketcher CreateRegularPolygon.
