Yes I have a compass and have done both methods as you explain. It's not that I can't find the points, it's that I can't get the accuracy. I am off by a 32 or even a 16th of an inch no matter how many times I keep drafting these points.
Maybe my next question is, how much wiggle room do I have? If one arm of the central hexagon/triangle is plus 1/32 of an inch and another is minus 1/32, is this going to give me trouble? I just can't seem to get it any better than this. And in a couple of lines I am off by 1/16th in most of my attempts.
