Description
The Sketcher CreateHexagon tool creates a hexagon. introduced in version 0.22: This is the same tool as Sketcher CreateRegularPolygon but with the number of sides preset to 6.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- For further steps see Sketcher CreateRegularPolygon.
