(This functionality is only available in the Plan View)
A Polygon Block can either be defined as a rectangle or a free form shape of up to 500 sides. A polygon block is created by selecting a polygon object from the data base.
The advantages of using a polygon block over a freehand block are that a polygon block can be created in a precise location and it can also support all line types that can be used to create polygons.
