    cytechnician,
    Here is a method to get a proper isometric view of a polygon using a simple example.

    1 - Draw a polygon (regular or irregular - the more sides, the longer this method will take)

    2 - Rotate by -45 degrees and get vertical dimensions to each vertex

    3 - Multiply each dimension by the factor : 0.57735 and measure up from a baseline


    See the drawing. Hope this helps.

    Or convert all the shape to block and alter the Y scale to suit. It should save a few steps/calculations
    It's nice to be nice, but sometimes is nicer to be evil!.
    Tip: Please do not PM or email me with CAD questions - use the forums, you'll get an answer sooner.
