HI there.
I was trying to make Hexagon tiles.
I know how to create a Hexagon, copy it, and paste.
With a regular shape like box, rectangular. The snap feature / guideline work fine.
With Hexagon, the newly created one will not snap and lock on to the side of old one.
Is there help to this?
Hi DaverR
I want to make Heagon tiles. The right one will not snap to the left.
Or I just cannot copy, paste, and snap them together.
Thank you for a suggestion. I was thinking about this a week,
In autocad it snapped together.
Thank you.
Oh DaveR.
I was so stupid. I knew what weng wrong. I didn’t drag Hexagon in the middle. So it couldn’t snap
I looked in your pic and saw you dragged it in the middle.
You don’t need to drag it by the middle but you do need to grab it by some point that has an identifiable destination. It could be a corner instead of the mid point. You can see that in my last GIF.
Middle (midpoint snap on an edge), or endpoint, or center of circle etc.–Dave is always snapping to a helpful point on the object so he can then snap it to another specific point in the drawing. If you just drag an object by any old location, it makes it harder to do anything logical with it.
(Edit I don’t know HOW LONG it took me to give up that bad habit.)
It’s worth noting that the point you choose to move from doesn’t have to be on the thing you move. Here you can see I use different points on the hexagon to make the rotation.
