Go into preferences and under "Clippaths and masks" select "Put all clipped/masked objects into one group" and "Ungroup automatically created groups".Īlso in preferences, under "Selecting", make sure that "Select only in current layer" is on, and that under "Clone" you have Inkscape set to unlink clones when the original is deleted (this will be changed later when we come to do trees and such).
Set major lines to "2".Įnable snapping and set "snap nodes or handles" and "snap to cusp nodes" on. I'm using half inch hexes in this worked example to represent 1 mile per hex. However, this causes problems later with snapping to hexagonal shapes and we actually use half this distance, so for 1" wide hexes, the grid spacing is 0.578", and for 15mm wide hexes, the grid spacing is 8.655mm.
Additionally, the grid spacing is as measured on the grid dialogue box is also aligned this way so if you want hexes x units from face to face, you would use a grid spacing of 1.156x. The grid spacing is up to you, but the grid in the current version of Inkscape always works so that hexes which align with it are always with the point up the page.
