Lee Mac has an AutoLISP program to do this. As you can see below, you can quickly draw polygon in your isometric drawing. It’s not a 3D drawing, it’s a 2D drawing. If you are interested, you can download the “isopoly” program here. Using Isopoly. To use isopoly, you need to load the program to AutoCAD first.

Making Isometric Dimensions:Make aligned dimensions A, B and C on the geometry as shown in drawing A above using DIMALIGNED command.Now type DIMEDIT on the command line and press enter, select oblique from the command line as shown in the image below.Now click on dimension marked A from drawing shown above and press enter. Command line will prompt you to select an angle to align this dimension type 30 and press enter again. Your dimension will now align with the geometry to make it look like isometric dimension.For dimensions B and C you can use the same method with the oblique angle of 30 and -30 respectively. Your final drawing will look like this after using DIMEDIT on all three dimensions.Making Isometric Dimension Text:The dimensions now look correct but when you look closely at dimension text they are still not properly aligned as per drawing.

You need to make changes to dimension text also in order to make it look normal.Type DIMTEDIT on the command line and press enter then click on the dimension which you want to edit, I am selecting dimension C for this case.From the command line, select Angle option and type an angle of 30 degrees then press enter. Michael mell hoodie patches. The dimension text will now align with the dimension line.

For dimensions, A and B use an angle of 30 and -30 degrees respectively in DIMTEDIT command. Making Isometric Text:To write text on the isometric cube type TEXT on the command line and press Enter. Now click on the face of cube towards dimension C and enter a text height value and rotation angle of 30 degrees in the command line prompts.Type any text and press enter twice to exit the TEXT command, I am using “Text” as the sample text on the isometric cube.Repeat the process of writing text on the face of cube towards dimension B as well, but in this case change angle of text to -30 degrees keeping all other parameters unchanged.Now select text on the face of dimension C then right click and select Properties from the contextual menu. From the Text panel of properties palette change value of Obliquing to 30.Repeat the process for text on cube facing dimension B but in this case change obliquing value to -30. The final drawing with isometric dimension and text will look like the image shown below.Do you have any questions related to isometric text and dimensions?

Let me know in comments below. I am a mechanical engineer and I have worked with Design, Manufacturing and Training industries but now SourceCAD is my full-time work and I use it to train students all over the world. I also train corporate clients and help them develop the skill set of their workforce.I am Autodesk AutoCAD Certified Professional and an Autodesk expert elite member. I am a regular contributor of AUGI World magazine and apart from SourceCAD I also develop AutoCAD video courses for Pluralsight and other E-Learning businesses.

By using the ISODRAFT command, several system variables and settings are automatically changed to values that facilitate isometric angles. The standard isometric planes, called isoplanes, are as follows:. Right. Aligns snap and grid along 30- and 90-degree axes. Left.

Aligns snap and grid along 90- and 150-degree axes. Top. Aligns snap and grid along 30- and 150-degree axes.Choosing one of the three isoplanes automatically causes the crosshairs cursor, and precision drawing and tracking tools to be aligned along the corresponding isometric axes. Therefore, you can draw the top plane, switch to the left plane to draw a side, and switch to the right plane to complete the drawing.

Isometric Circles, Arcs, and FilletsWhen drawing on isometric planes, use ellipses to represent circles. The easiest way to draw an ellipse with the correct shape is to use the Isocircle option of the ELLIPSE command. The Isocircle option is available only when an isometric plane is active, which is controlled by the ISODRAFT command or the SNAPSTYL system variable.Use isocircles for arcs, fillets, and any other radial curve, trimming and extending them to other edges. Isocircles correctly represent cylinders or holes that are parallel to an isometric axis, and their silhouette edges are always parallel to an isometric axis.
