Isometrics....Help!
Isometrics....Help!
(OP)
I am trying to draw piping Domestic Waist and Vent isometrics, and I am not doing so well. I usually switch to the SE viewpoint and go from there. I have troubles when I change directions, and start trying to draw fittings. Any Suggestions?





RE: Isometrics....Help!
To draw isometrically in 2D go to the Tools pull down menu(ac2000) and select Drawing settings. Set the snap to isometric. You now have an isometric cursor and you can toggle the 3 main drawing planes with F5.
It is a little difficult to dimention isometrically but I have seen some good lisp programmes that will set it up for you.
Good Luck
Peter.

1 type snap
2 type s for style
3 type i for iso
4 change snap if req'd
then cross hair will go into iso mode then ctrl e will change the orientation of the crosshairs
when finished repeat snap command and instead of i type s
which will return to normal mode

One last thing; if you do a lot of Iso's get an add-on program.
