How do I create a map that will print as 1.25 inch hex map?
I just got CC3 and Cos3 and FT 3,
one of the things I wanted to do is creating new maps for battletech. What I need is a map that prints without margins on a letter piece of paper and ending up with hexes that measure 1.25 inch from flat to flat. However after playing around for about an hour with CC3 I don't even know where to start with regard to the measurements and the marginless printing.

- Note the size your of your hexes in drawing units (e.g. 40). If you don't know it, you can use the Info > Distance tool to measure this hex midpoint to midpoint.
- Open the print dialog and choose "Everything" as the view to print
- Under "Scaling" select Scale Factor and enter your hex size for the "Drawing distance". For "Paper distance" put in 1.25" (yes, include the inch symbol). This will automatically scale your print correctly.
- Use preview to test how many tiled pages you need (if at all), to print all of your map.
