Autocad 2009 Isometric drawing, tangent Isometric circle
(OP)
I am creating an isometric drawing where there is a corner. I would like to fillet the corner with an isometric circle. Is there an easy way to make the iso circle tangent to the corner??

I use this when drawing isometrically (10 years ago mind you). It is the closest approximation you are going to get.

Right click on the grid display button, select Settings and click on that radio button in the lower left corner. Now when you give the Circle command, the i parameter will show. Type i then you can create an isometric circle - a perfect ellipse.
But for general use on corners, I always use the fillet command or button and set it to a low number, quarter inch or less. It looks good enough and is much simpler. Remember, this is isometric ILLUSTRATION. It's not supposed to be engineering perfect. For that you do a solid model.
If you need a larger ellipse just create it the size you want and then move it into place by zooming way up and putting about where you want it. Then move it to touch the line needed. Repeat for the other side, then trim it back.
I hope this helps.

"Now when you give the Ellipse command, the i parameter will show."
Not the Circle command.

Great advice, exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot.
