    This document provides instructions for setting up and creating isometric drawings in AutoCAD. It discusses how to change the grid/snap style to isometric, how to change the isoplane, and how to draw basic geometry like lines, circles, and arcs. It also covers dimensioning isometric drawings using aligned and quick leader dimensions. Other tips mentioned include using COPY with polar relative coordinates, avoiding OFFSET, setting up layers beforehand, and using construction lines as guides. The goals of the document are to explain how to produce isometric drawings in AutoCAD and provide guidance through completing a tutorial on creating isometrics.

    ISOMETRIC IN AUTOCAD

    Outcomes of today’s
    lecture

    Able to explain in producing


    Isometric drawing in
    AutoCAD
    Setting up isometric grid/snap

     The grid/snap style should be changed to isometric


    snap
     Right click on grid button on status bar, choose
    ‘Settings…’
     Drafting setting window displaying Snap and Grid
    tab is displayed

    Changing isoplane
    • Changing the isoplane – left, top, right
    – Cycle by pressing CTRL+E or F5 or
    – Command: isoplane {enter}

    Right Top Left


    Drawing lines, circles and arc
     Isometric lines and non-isometric lines can be drawn using
    line or polyline command
     Isometric circle can be drawn using ellipse command
     Draw ellipse > isocircle
     Isometric quarter circle and semi circle can be drawn using
    ellipse arc command
     Draw ellipse arc > isocircle
    Creating round corner
    Before After

    Draw ellipse Draw another Draw straight Trim Trim Trim


    arc ellipse arc line from
    midpoint of
    top arc to
    midpoint of bottom arc
    Dimensioning

     Use aligned dimension for linear dimensioning


     Use quick leader for isocircle

    Aligned dimension Quick leader


    To make dimension aligned with isometric axes, follow few steps as:
    - Type DIMEDIT
    - Type O for Oblique
    - Select the dimension to be aligned, then Enter
    - Specify the obliquing angle
    For example, using the object above, for clockwise alignment such
    as 90, type 30 for the angle, whereas for 100, type -30 for the angle
    since anti-clockwise alignment.
    Dimensioning for Isocircle
    • Select Quick leader icon
    • Select the circle, then extend the leader line to
    appropriate direction, click, then make short
    extension in horizontal direction, click then type
    corresponding value (example: R20) for the dimension.
    Other useful tips
     Use COPY command with polar relative
    coordinate system or OSNAP.
     Do not use OFFSET command.
     Set up LAYER before drawing.
     Use construction line as a guide
    (recommended to use different colour)
