Isometric drawing views
Isometric drawing views
(OP)
Is there a way to have a little more control over the..."point of view" when creating an isometric drawing view? In Mechanical Desktop, you can create an iso view from any other existing view.
In SW, I've only found iso as a model view. I have then projected new views FROM the iso model view and that SORT OF gave me what I want...but not really. Do I have any other options besides what I've been doing?

Ok...so how do I make it go? It says it's for SW2003... will it not work with newer SW?

I believe that I have yet to use the isometric view feature in SolidWorks or Mechanical Desktop.
In SolidWorks, in the assembly model, I rotate things around until I get the exact view I want. I use the "Named View" button to capture the view I want.
Does your view have to isometric, or just 3D?

As for the isometric thing....it's just a habit I picked up at Boeing. It's somewhat customary to put a small iso view in the corner of the dwg purely for ornamental reasons.
Thanks all...
