Thanks Sue,
I had recognised that fact from the obvious different look along the
short sides of the rectangle to the long, but I thought it was just me
and was hoping that it could work right by using another grid (apart
from 45 deg). I was hoping to make this as a bucks point pattern
Sue
If your Bucks grid has a working angle of 58 degrees you can make five
corners for a pentagon shape or if it has a working angle of 60 degrees
six corners will make a hexagon. Otherwise you have to cut and paste
and do all sorts of odd things or design a proper Bucks corner which
takes
isn't it? Or are my early morning
thoughts missing something?

If your Bucks grid has a working angle of 58 degrees
You can't print a rectangular Bucks pattern on one grid - as you have
discovered when you turn the corner the grid angle will change. If you were
working at 52 degrees then having turned the corner it will be 90-52 degrees
ie 38 degrees. The corner will need to be carefully designed to transition
