Parametric Polygon?

[sbrown]

How can you make a parametric polygon profile easily. I can do it with many ref planes and eq. dims, but you'd think you could do it like the radius of a circle.

Does it have a fixed number of sided? Equal sized?
For an N-Gon w/ equal sides, you need a parameter for side length to be calculated from the radius, and a radial array.

I thought Ref. Lines were made to address such things?

Here's a five-minute example...

Oh, wait, you said profile... I think you can do this same thing, but tie the dim strings down to the endpoints of the profile lines instead of using Ref. Lines. Same thing tho.

Here's a hexagon profile family that is based on diameter input. Help? Probably the same as yours eh?

Steve, thats how I made mine, but what I'm hoping for(move to wishlist I guess) is since you can create a polygon by a radius value, that value should be retained as a parameter somehow.
