Ritch7 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 hi again people, im now just experimenting with 3d for the first time in autocad 2009, basic question. im trying to draw a cylinder but cant work out how you change the viewing planes, iv'e drawn an elipse but everything is constantly on 1 isoplane, I cannot change what plane it is on how do i either move it in 3d around or change how i draw it?, tried isoplanes F5 etc and havin no luck! hope you understand what i mean! im sure this is extremley simple!

ReMark Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Keep in mind I am not using MEP. However, in my plain vanilla AC 2007 I used the UCS toolbar (to orient the UCS) together with the View toolbar (for top, left, right, etc.) orientation. Does that help?

Ritch7 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi terminator, yeh a little the UCS just wasn't doing what I wanted! it's like it was locked and I couldnt create a new one. and the isoplanes were going a little crazy, but it's sorted now, cant remember how I did it though, just closing my eyes and pressing different buttons I guess! haha cheers tho.

ReMark Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 When I see the word "isoplanes" I start thinking you are working on a drawing using plain old Isometric (from the Snap command) and that you are using the + keys to toggle the isoplanes. It makes me nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
