Hello all!
I need to make/draw an illustration of 5 hexagons within a hexagon, with each side numbered 1 to 6 (in the same order so that hexagon A's side 1 corresponds to hexagon B's number 1) and also need to label each hexagon as Zone A to Zone E.
Please suggest the appropriate software to draw this easily as I can.
Kind regards
get me now
Could be done in under 3 minutes with CorelDRAW... and that's old slowpoke here.
the 'dd'
oops, the instructions didn't take. Ctrl D to duplicate the first one at a 0" displacement from the original - ie: in place right on top of the original that is 7" across; keep dupe selected; enter 6" in size box with aspect ratio lock on;hit Ctrl D 3 more times. Add the Zone info to each 6-gon wherever you like on them. Once you have them at the 7" down size or whatever you like you can group them all together and size to a bounding box using the size control "handles" (little black squares around the object); use a corner one to keep the aspect ratio intact. If you need the numbers all the same size do one and duplicate it without changing its dimensions.
Am I missing something?
Why not just use Corel's Contour tool?
Click, click and you're done...............3 minutes reduced to 3 seconds.
I agree this would be faster, but the advantage of Ctrl + D is that the hexagon are individual objects (no need to ungroup or breakdown).
