Can not create a polygon in 3D sketch.
I was just attempting to create a pair of polygons while in a 3D sketch and the option is not available. Is this intended?

Jim.. I don't recall it being available in the past,.. so, you'd need to create another/separate sketch.

This is the first time I have tried it so was not sure if it should be available. Must not be, I wonder why?

Maybe too difficult to fully define?

Yes, Jim, it is true, Inventor doesn`t even have a circle in 3D sketch, create a plane and draw polygon manually as me here Is it impossible task for SW?

Re: Can not create a polygon in 3D sketch.
As Paul Salvador said, you can create the polygon in a 2d sketch. If you still need it in your 3d skecth you could then use the Convert Entities tool while in the 3d sketch to recreate it.

It is a rare case when you have the ability to split your sketch to 2d and 3d part, but it is not a big problem to create polygon manually in 3d.
The real problem is that SW and any other CAD systems have big problems with solving of such 3d sketches (constraints)
So, a few simple polygons in 3d hang up your super computer with ease.

Hello Igor,.. so, you hoping for this announcement?
Cloud Invent Launches Release of Cheetah Solver for SolidWorks?

Igor,.. would be nice to see a complex sketch update faster using all 8 cores... but, unfortunately,.. nothing has changed in years.

Paul, would be nice to see first:
-working assembly mirror feature
-reordering of derived configurations
-right ordering and filtering of BOM
and so on....
Multithreading is luxury for CAD and commonest for FEA

I hope SW realize this Cheetah Solver - Demo 2 - YouTube under Autodesk pressure

True, in fact I had started by making a sketch with a polygon then creating a second plane to put a second polygon on until I said, "this is stupid I should just use a 3D sketch". That is when I found out it wouldn't work. I have already finished the task, just was wondering what I was doing wrong. Apparently nothing.
