Isometric Drawings

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I have been trying to get hold of a laptop with the exact same Auto Cad on it. This one has a quite normal tool bar and thet came from the same disc! Any ideas?

I have AutoCAD 2000, who cares?

I currently use '07 but, save to vs. 2000. A few of my clients request, "send a *.dwg file in vs. 2000." 'Course these are trusted clients otherwise they get a *.pdf.

Would it be possible to install ACAD with a custom acad.mnu file?

After install from the original CD(s) I would think, install your own revised or create a customized acad.mnu file.

Can we install with a customized *.mnu file while installing AutoCAD? I don't think so.

After install, I think we create our own *.mnu file.

how to use templates for isometric 2d piping drawings

Creating a template doesn't have all that much to do with an isometric piping drawing unless you take into account your layers, dimension and text styles and maybe your title block and border.

What seems to be the problem?

how to use templates for isometric 2d piping drawings

Tell us what your definition of a "template" is and maybe we can provide more information. Just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

:halloween:Drawing in iso is easy just rotate 30 degrees to the right or left and boom your drawing in iso. I hardly use the snap settings or change the cursor. Remeber in ortho or iso your only drawing in 1 view in 3d your drawing in 6 views.

Its simple. Just try the following steps buddy,

Click on the grid display in the bar

open up the settings penal from there

change your styling to SNAP style

then as per your requirement select the appropriate one.

• SNAPSTYL = 1.
  
• F5 key to toggle Top/Right/Left Isoplane.
  
• Make sure Polar is set to 30 degree increments, with 45,90,135,315 additional angles enabled.
  

Done.

Just add 30 degrees to everything you draw screw changing the snap style hell I don't even use a grid! A I barely use the cursor

In my opinion this is poor advice to give anyone who has never done as isometric drawing using AutoCAD.
