I'll have to look at the software when I get home. For now, if it only asks for diameter, the radius will = the side length. Diameter is the Radius squared

Here is a cool calculator:

Choose how many sides (n)
Choose a unit (Inch, meter, etc)
How long you want each side to be (a)
Press the calculate button.

I do all my drawings in Corel and then import it into Torchmate. I know there is a shape feature in Torchmate but to be honest, I have never used it. It takes just a couple seconds to do it in Corel.
