zli_gli Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 how to draw pipe in isometric view and take dimension Quote
ReMark Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Snap > Style > Isometric. Accept the vertical spacing default or change it to one that suits you. To disable it use the F9 ket to toggle it off (or back on). Your Ctrl + E keys will change the IsoPlane. Refer to AutoCAD Help while you at it too. You do plan on drawing everything full size in model space don't you? Good night. Quote
Hugh_Compton Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 As well as what reMark correctly said, if you frequently do isometrics then I recommend you model the piping in 3D then take the isometric views from the model. It'll save you a lot of headaches for the future. --------------------------------------- 3D AutoCAD Pipework – http://www.HerculeDesign.com Quote
ReMark Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I agree with what Hugh said as I have now started to do my isometrics in this manner as well. zli_gli, do you have any experience using 3D? Quote
rkent Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 how to draw pipe in isometric view and take dimension As already stated this might be easier in 3D and then dimensioning is much easier. But if you have to draw 2D isos and dim, see the attached drawing for dimensioning. ISO-DIMensions 2007.dwg Quote
Tankman Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Welcome to the forums zli_gli! Where might you be posting from, curiosity? Agreed, draw in 3D, dimension from top view. Open your ISO view, done. Enjoy your visits to these friendly CadTutor forums! rkent, could you post in vs. 2000? Quote
