What the heck?! I didn’t even realise this could be a thing.
I’ve made so many hex maps on pages and cards and every time I did, I had to invoke some kinds of deep, Eldritch magic to get it to work, and almost every one of those times I’ve ended up downloading a hex tile svg or something.
I will definitely try this out because it looks like it’ll be so easy to use!!
Ok I just tested this in Affinity Designer 2.5.5 and it works beautifully! It does prompt me that saving the template will update it to work only with Affinity v2 (and not Affinity v1), but for me, that’s not a problem.
Thank you for opening my eyes to a fantastic way of setting up hexagon grids in the Affinity suite, because it’ll definitely help me make some of the hex games I’ve been working on in Designer!
Thanks for looking at it I’m glad it’s helpful! When Affinity 2 came out I did look at including another version of the file for the new version but it opened fine and I just didn’t get around to it. It’s probably been long enough that a version it doesn’t need to convert is a good idea.

This is such a brilliant idea, wish I had it when I started tinkering on my own hex maps!
