Want a really hot tip? Then watch out: Here's something really great. Let me drag a polygon (1) and press the up arrow key without releasing the mouse button (2 and 3), and now press the right arrow key (4). This way you can easily duplicate the polygons.
And now I'll go one better: I delete the polygons once and drag the polygon again, press the space bar once to change the mode. And if I now press the up and down arrow keys, I can easily change the number of sides of the polygon. This works very quickly, from the triangle to the star to the sunbeam.
And now for the bonus: if you press the left or right arrow key, you can even vary the star shape. This means you can determine the percentage value by which this star should contract. I can also change the mode again by pressing the space bar and then duplicate it again. Really cool.
One more thing: You can also move the placed polygon. Most people do it like this: they take the selection tool and move it into place. But sometimes it has to be more precise, really precise.
And there is the following trick for this: Once you have selected the object, simply double-click on the selection tool and the move windowwill open.
Here you can simply jump and enter your millimeter specifications very precisely, for example in a horizontal direction ...
... or in a vertical direction.
This is oriented relative to the reference point given at the top (1). You can also change the distances (2), for example, so that the polygon jumps wonderfully through the picture.
Or we can simply rotate the polygon in a circle and back again.
Three cool tips for having fun with polygons.
