POLYGONS

Any way to create a polygon with any of the tools, like circle, lines, etc. For example, an octogon or any other ...gon with equal sides, without laying it out with guide lines first. Would be a 2d tool.

I think there's a free object somewhere that does that.

There's not a direct way to do it though.
