    I have made many polygons in a old version of Designer which makes them "owner free".

    Hexagon are really easy to draw.

    1. Select connected line tool
    2. Draw a closed 6 sided figure
    3. Change the length of each side manually so they are the same length
    3. Change the internal angle between each side to 120 degrees
    4. Rotate to your needs
    5. Done

    note: to resize it you have to remove the side length constraint. Change it from yellow to green so it can change. You may have to manually change the lengths to add the length constraint when its at the size you want.

    P.S. Dan, you beat me to it.

    mmatsumura, most common polygons are available on the forum and you can also import as an image from a graphic.
