3D Drawing in AutoCAD LT 2000

[JoeOuellette]

Hi everyone I just asked my friend if I could draw 3D in ACAD LT 2000 ans she said yes. So I did what she said and take a gander at the screen. I click the button and the y-x axis changes and its very confusing. If someone can help me out with drawing 3D in ACAD LT 2000 I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks and heres the picture

you can't draw in 3D, you can only draw in isometric - a 2D representation of 3D, which you can't rotate

Ask your friend to show you how she draws in 3D in a version of AutoCAD that old - just for a laugh

Autocad LT does not have 3d capabilities to it, only Autocad and its vertical products. LT is a stripped down version of the full Autocad.

What does isometric even mean?

It's when you draw three dimensional objects in only two dimensions, like perspective views and such.

So like when you draw the top, front, and right side views of the object.

sort of. It looks three-dimensional but it isn't. Like a painting that has 'depth'... anyone can explain it better?

It is a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional object...
as Tiger said it's like a picture..

Sorry, to be honest I have never looked at Lt, but I have not heard that it does not have 3d capabilities.
Your screen shot actually shows 3D view capabilities, so I would assume that LT can draw in 3d.

Joe under the DRAW pull down what are your commands.?

You can view 3D objects that have been modeled in full Autocad, but you cannot create them in LT.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD

AutoCAD LT lacks several features. Most notably, it has no 3D modeling capabilities (though it has a full suite of 3D viewing functions for looking at 3D models created in other CAD packages) and does not include any programming interfaces, such as support for most 3rd party programs and does not support LISP programs.
