Can we fix this annoyance too?

When drawing an octagon with the polygon tool it's rotated 22.5 deg instead of straight. 

  • So you have a STOP sign fetish. [;)]

    • You're on to me. I ended up creating a custom paint sprayer. Did that for a simple arrow too. Makes it quick and easy.
      • We can start a trend we can ask for the tools to make sense.  [6] I don't know about you but when I use an octagon it is ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS for a sign.

          Not me! I work with a geometric shapes like this every day and not all are horizontal. What is important to me is the SIDE length. I would like to be able to input a side length and have the shape created as such. But I have a macro for that. ;)

          Nick Wilkinson had a macro on his old Isocalc site called ShapeCreator. It still works in X7...and I still use it often. You can choose how the shape is oriented and what basis is used for it's size. Wonderful tool!!
