Simple software to isometric

Simple software to isometric

Simple software to isometric

(OP)
Can you recommend a a simple software to isometric drawings?
If the project is large we use PDMS, but if we have to do 5-10 pipelines it does not pay.

RE: Simple software to isometric

Do you know how to draw manual isometrics?

Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results

RE: Simple software to isometric

(OP)
I do it all the time, but it takes too long

RE: Simple software to isometric

Acorn pipe looks the most interesting to me, but nothing that is good is free...

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

RE: Simple software to isometric

I think AcornPipe is priced on a per iso basis, it was last time I checked. It's mainly used for shop spool drawings but can do isos as well.

RE: Simple software to isometric

Is five hours for an average handdrawn iso too long??

RE: Simple software to isometric

(OP)
if you have about 45 items (flanges, bolts ect...) it takes more than 5 hours

RE: Simple software to isometric

I think there is not a less timeconsuming way.
Maybe 3d autocad with the piping program?
