Hex Path measures a diagonal via the shortest path to the destination, adding one unit for each hex a token would have to pass through to reach the end point. This is also called the 'real distance' or 'as the crow flies. Euclidean measures diagonals using the Pythagorean Theorem. This is also called 'Taxicab geometry' or 'rectilinear distance'. Effectively, a diagonal move equals 2 units using this method. Manhattan measures a diagonal distance as the sum of its horizontal and vertical distances. This is slightly more complicated to count, but models reality more closely. Thus, when 1 unit equals 5ft, diagonal moves alternate between 5ft and 10ft increments i. This simplifies the counting of squares at the expense of realism. Hex Grids have the option to show the grid label in each space. Your choice of Grid changes the options you have.

There are two grid types, Square default and Hex, and the grid can be disabled. Among other things, you can change the scale, the distance units feet, meters, etc. You can change ruler and grid settings for each page by accessing its Page Settings.
