hexagonal (axonometric) grid in horizontal rather than vertical orientation

Postby dohduhdah » Sat Mar 30, 2019 5:45 am

Hi.
When I try to set up an axonometric grid, it seems like the Y-axis is fixed in vertical orientation and only the angle of the X-axis and the
Z-axis can be specified (in the screenshot below they are both at 30 degrees).

For my purposes it would be more convenient if the X-axis was fixed in horizontal orientation and I would be able to specify the
angle of the Y-axis and the Z-axis (both at 30 degrees).

Is there any way to do this in InkScape?

greetings and thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek

Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Ah thanks. That offers more flexibility than using the grid settings in the document properties.
