[woosley]

I am now stuck to create a regular hexagon.
by default, what is created is like below

but how can I make it as a "regular hexagon"? I can not find any way t odo this

Hi,

just type "hexagon" in Search field. By moving little orange diamond shape you can modify it.

the shape can be changed in this way but it is super hard to make it perfect "regular hexagon"

Our engineer created the issue you can track #2368

In case someone else comes back to here, you can use the Arrange >Insert> Shape menu to add a custom shape type and for a hexagon you can draw a tilted one with this shape

  <background>
  </background>
  <foreground>
    <fillstroke />
    <path>
      <move x="280" y="225" />
      <line x="150" y="300" />
      <line x="20" y="225" />
      <line x="20" y="75" />
      <line x="150" y="0" />
      <line x="280" y="75" />
      <line x="280" y="225" />
      <close />
    </path>
    <stroke />
  </foreground>
</shape>

or a flat one with this

  <background>
  </background>
  <foreground>
    <fillstroke />
    <path>
      <move x="300" y="150" />
      <line x="225" y="280" />
      <line x="75" y="280" />
      <line x="0" y="150" />
      <line x="75" y="20" />
      <line x="225" y="20" />
      <line x="300" y="150" />
      <close />
    </path>
    <stroke />
  </foreground>
</shape>

@DrewRay nice but technically your hexagon is not closed speaking strict SVG Script syntax. This works better:

<shape h="300" w="300" aspect="fixed" strokewidth="inherit">
  <background> </background>
  <foreground>
    <fillstroke />
    <path>
      <move x="300" y="150" />
      <line x="225" y="280" />
      <line x="75" y="280" />
      <line x="0" y="150" />
      <line x="75" y="20" />
      <line x="225" y="20" />
      <line x="300" y="150" />
      <close /> <!-- This closes the path -->
    </path>
    <stroke />
  </foreground>
</shape>
