Switch back to the left isoplane and start the ELLISPE command.

Switch to your top isoplane ( F5) and draw the top view.Ĭreate the angle lines to add the angled surface. Switch to your right isoplane ( F5) and draw the right side. You will want to use the Direct Distance Entry System for this exercise and make sure that you have Ortho ( F8) and Osnaps ( F3) turned on. Your crosshairs are now angled to show you which isoplane you are currently on and the Grid is laid out differently from what you may be used to.īegin by drawing the left side of the box (shown at the top of the lesson) using the line command. Press OK and you’ll see that the grid is set up for isometric drawing for the left isoplane in 1/2″ increments. Make your settings the same as what you see below (just turn on Isometric Snap). Type in DDRMODES to bring up the Drawing Aids dialog box. Your first exercise will be to draw the object shown above using isometric methods.īegin a new drawing using the acad.dwt templateĬreate a layer called OBJECT and give it a green color. Your other choices would be Left or Right. You can switch between the three ‘isoplanes’ (top, right, left) by using this command or by pressing the F5 key.Įnter isometric plane setting : T īy invoking this command, AutoCAD is now set to draw on the top isoplane. Unfortunately, as soon as you change anything, like the block’s height, you’ll need to redraw all four views.ĪutoCAD has a command called ISOPLANE which allows you to easily draw at a 30 degree angle as needed for an isometric drawing. If this is all that is needed then isometric works well. This basic isometric drawing of the object gives a very good idea of what it looks like. You can see that it is a very simple drawing. Many times an isometric drawing is used to compliment or give more information to a 3 view orthographic drawing. This has been the usual way of doing things before CAD allowed true 3-D work to be done. Using Isometric commands is one of the simplest ways to give a 3-D representation while using only 2-D commands.
