    This document provides instructions for creating isometric drawings in AutoCAD. It discusses how to set up the isometric grid and snap settings, how to change the isoplane, and how to draw lines, circles, arcs, and add dimensions. Key steps include changing the grid style to isometric snap, using the ellipse tool to draw isocircles, and using aligned or quick leader dimensions for linear and circular features respectively. The document concludes by stating the learning outcomes of understanding how to produce isometric drawings in AutoCAD.

    ISOMETRIC IN AUTOCAD

    Outcomes of todays 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

    Setting up isometric grid/snap
    Rectangular
    Isometric

    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
    arc
    Draw another
    ellipse arc
    Draw straight
    line from
    midpoint of
    top arc to
    midpoint of bottom arc
    Trim Trim Trim
    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)

    What is next?
    You will complete the Tutorial on creating
    Isometrics.
    After completing the Tutorial and turning in
    your print. You will revisit Packet 2 and 3.
    You will complete 6 total Isometrics for the
    two packets (your choice on which 6).
    Each is worth 10 points. Dimensions
    MUST be included.
