• equal
• unequal

Under which panel is the Polygon command located?

How can a user create a polygon in AutoCAD using edge length instead of center and radius?

• Use the 'Circle' command instead of 'Polygon'

• Polygons can only be created using center and radius

• The 'Edge' option is selected automatically

• Specify the number of sides and choose the 'Edge' option during the creation process
