This is kind of a question,

Is there a way to get the hex rooms to link in all direction without having to traverce through all the directions.

For example, In keyboard creation, if I place a starting hex room, then go 3 south, then ne, then 3 north. Only links are drawn in the north/south direction exept for the south most hex that only shows links north and NE. Is there a way to get zmapper to automatically create all the additional links to all ajacent rooms without having to backtrack over all these rooms. (NE,SE,NW,SW links?) I want to manually create a hax map that has well over 400 hex rooms, its going to take forever if there is no way to do this easier. By the way, my hexes are set up with directions in N,NE,SE,S,SW,NW directions.

Hopefully I have the map configured correctly for this type of hex. Was I correct in assigning both the X and Y spacing to 120?

Also are these settings correct?

Direction Dx Dy Dz
North 0 -100 0
NE 100 -50 0
East 200 0 0
SE 100 50 0
South 0 100 0
SW -100 50 0
West -200 0 0
NW -100 -50 0
Up 100
Down -100

Yes, I need to add some sort of "autoconnect" feature to make this easier. I had the same complaint when I created the tutorial :)

On your map, your X spacing should be smaller. See the hexmap tutorial. Just swap the X and Y spacings in that tutorial to use on your map.
