How to Draw Triangle in Autocad

So you found out that there is no 'triangle' command in autocad. It sounds ridiculous right? Autocad has a lot of powerful commands yet it lacks the command for this very useful and common figure. Autodesk realized that there is no need for a special 'triangle' command because a triangle is simply a polygon. Therefore, all you need to do to draw a triangle in autocad is use the general command for polygons. That is, simply type in POLYGON, set the number of sides to 3 and input the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
Bonus Tip: Autolisp and ObjectArx custom commands are powerful tools to draw fast in autocad. Look around this site for more info. Written by Superdraftsman on January 23rd, 2010 with no comments.
