How to create 2D isometric drawing

If you work in the plant industry, then you might need to draw isometric drawings.

If you use GstarCAD, you may wish you can do it easily. It’s not a 3D drawing, but 2D drawing by simply change your drawing orientation. You can do it by using snap, then change its style to isometric.

Command: SNAP
Specify snap spacing or [ON/OFF/Aspect/Style/Type] <10.0000>: S
Enter snap grid style [Standard/Isometric] <S>: I
Specify vertical spacing <10.0000>: 10

Also, you can change your plane by typing ISOPLANE [enter] then select left, top, right. Alternatively, you can use the SNAPSTYL command, changing the variable value to 1. You can change your plane by typing ISOPLANE, but it can be done faster by pressing “F5″ key. To go back to the default, use the SNAPSTYL command again and change the variable value to 0.
