Option to automatically add labels to the left hand column and bottom row, to allow for easy cell reference via coordinates E.g. the bottom row would have A B C D... And the left column 1 2 3 ... Etc

It'll be nice to have automatic tool that populates coordinates (A, B, C on X axis and 1, 2, 3 on Y axis), like in spreadsheets. It'll help to create map legends if you don't like polluting your map with labels

Either paint grid or select which areas it shows in.

Currently there is no way to create a hex grid map with certain dimensions, especially decimal dimensions. for example, a 19.2x16 hex grid map is not possible to create. You need to create in in square grid dimensions then resize. even so, it does not allow decimal grid specificity

An option to rotate the grid similar to how we can rotate textures. This would be particularly useful with square grids. Depending on the scene I am trying to make, I often make battlemaps at an angle instead of parallel to the map edge; and I like the grid to line up with my scene rather than the map borders. If I have the time, I have used the Path tool to make a custom grid. The attached image includes a custom grid I made this way in Inkarnate. But I would love there to be a built-in way to do with with the grid tool. (its takes a lot of time to make this custom grid).

It would be great if it could automatically populate hex coordinates onto the map itself for reference while world-building.

I’m currently creating a large map and using hex grids to manage travel distances. However, the current grid size limit of 256x162 is too restrictive for my needs. While increasing the map size could technically accommodate larger grids, doing so introduces significant performance issues when rendering at 8K resolution. Proposed Solution: Allow larger grid sizes independent of map dimensions, enabling larger grid sizes without compromising memory or rendering efficiency. This feature would enhance usability for creators working on complex, large-scale maps.

Option for an isometric hex grid

Would love the ability to create multiple grid layers of different sizes. 5e travel rules dictate hex sizes for certain map scales (60 mi / 6 mi / 1 mi) and it's useful to be able to show smaller hexes within the larger ones. Currently to display multiple grid layers, I have to trace over them using the path tool, which is extremely time consuming. The option for multiple grid layers could make detailed hexmaps doable in a matter of seconds or minutes, rather than hours and days.

A centering tool or like an easy way to check the coordinates of an object on the grid. It would make centering tokens easier and help when trying to make symmetrical designs. For example, a small display on the UI that shows the grid position your cursor is currently hovering over
