    Hex

    Hi guys, what is the easiest way to draw a hex without having to trig point to point?

    Draw a circle and use <Break> [Divide]. Set the number of segments to 6. Use <Points> [End] to put reference points at the arc segment ends. You can then use <Rotate> to orient the vertices however you need them by picking the arc center as the rotation point. Once it's all lined up, use <Lines> [Join] to connect the vertices into a hexagon.

    There are probably faster/easier ways, but that method isn't too bad.

    draw a circle, break it for the number of sides and join lines at that end points.
