Accessing and Creating a Polygon

 

Creating a Polygon starts with drawing the shape first and then saving the work when done.

Start by opening the required Network Map

From the Network Map feature bar select the Draw Option icon (Pencil) and then Polygon from the drop down list - the mouse pointer now has a blue dot.
