Trying to fill an area with CC3's hex grid

OK, looking at your map, and doing what Wonko suggested, will give you exactly what you want.

What has happened initially is this: CC3 with regards to the HEX fill likes to work with WHOLE hexes, and will force the borders (with regards to the hex area) to edges of a whole hex).

BUT, If I do as Wonko suggested, with the following options: HEX Horizontal, spacing 175 (closest I could quickly calculate), labeled, select points, it will fill the entire area (but will still only label complete hexes).

Ah, ok, thanks.

I'm going to have to find another way then as 170 is what I need for the correct scaling to the background map I'm using as a template. I guess I could try halving or quartering that. Still, it's a bit silly that it doesn't act like a fill, or at the very least give a you a means to calculate the full area of the hex grid so that you can accommodate its quirkiness

I've just wasted another four hours of my life trying to figure out CC3. Even using guides, I haven't even been able to do basic things I could've done in Paint. I'm glad I 'demod' a copy of CC3 before buying. I just deleted it and am going back to Photoshop/Illustrator. At least with them I already own them and whatever I learn using them can be used for other things besides making fantasy maps. Can't say I'd ever recommend buying CC3 to anyone :/
