   1. While using the Polygon tool, you will see two calculated measurements while drawing lines.

      1. The number next to the ruler icon is the estimated distance between your current point and the previous point (AKA your previous click).

      2. The number next to the blue square is the estimated area of the polygon.

4. You can Modify, Move, Resize, and Rotate your drawing using the tools provided.

5. To modify a polygon, use the Modify tool then click a polygon to activate. 

   1. Clicking and dragging one of the faint dots in the middle of the lines will add a new point to the polygon at that position.  

   2. To remove a point from a polygon, hover the mouse pointer over the point and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
