Rectangle, Circle, Ellipse, Polygon

When you select Rectangle, Circle, Ellipse, Polygon or Text Leader, you can define the Start symbol, End symbol and the Pattern line property in the Properties palette right from the start. If you wanted to do this in earlier versions, you had to use direct object modification.

The context toolbar only contains element-specific input options.

Polygon

A Polygon - like a Rectangle - can be drawn as Individual lines or Polylines. The new context toolbar also includes Back, which used to be in the dialog line.

A polygon consisting of Individual lines can still be selected as an entity group using SHIFT + click or the middle and left mouse buttons.
