At first glance, making a Polygon or Triangle in Illustrator should be a walk in the park. And it can be, but there are a few hidden things we need to uncover first.

Once you see how it’s done, not only will it be easy to make, but they will be precise and usable.

We’ll cover:

• Finding the Polygon Tool
• Creating your first Polygon
• Which Modifier Keys help us control as we draw
• Where is the Triangle Tool
• Using the Polygon Tool Options for more control
• Using the Polygon Tool Widget for more control
• I still can’t find the Triangle Tool
• and more
  

So when you need a pentagon, stop sign, triangle, or other multi-sided path, grab the Polygon Tool as a powerful, and easy solution.
