draw your triangle as you would any other polygon (or other shape for that matter).a dialog box opens and you can define a regular polygon with however many sides you want (leave star inset to 0… don’t know why).once you have the polygon tool, double left-click the tool.opt+click rectangle tool until you see the polygon tool.So, if this is the definition, why not use the polygon tool. In my search (special thanks to for the insider’s information) I found 3 primary methods for making triangles:Īs we should remember from grade-school geometry class, a triangle is a 3-sided-regular polygon. Problem: Indesign doesn’t have a built-in triangle tool it has rectangle, ellipse, polygon and lines… but no triangle!Īfter a frustrating search of the documentation I turned to Google… as most of us do… because Google knows all.
One of the shapes I’ve had to make are various forms of triangles – Isosceles, equilateral, right-angle. Recently, I’ve been forced to make some “non-traditional” shapes using Indesign. Ultimately, this work will end up in the hands of those who are MUCH more qualified than I am, so I’ve learned (through painful & difficult experience) that trying to do things the “right” way before I hand things over is generally a lot less expensive than doing what comes naturally and hoping for the best. Being new to Indesign, and not being able to afford the time or cost of hiring a competent graphic artist, I find that I am forced to do a lot of “design” work on my own.
