ALoock Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Hi everyone. I am trying to teach myself through these forums how to draw isometric with Atuocad 2009 LT. There is a lot I was able to figure out so far but I do struggle with one thing: to get the dimension right, or maybe dimensions is not the right way of describing, rather the relation of the parts. I am trying to draw a gear and realise that the dimension of one of the 'teeth' of the gear will not be the same as another. How do I go about drawing it then? I appreciate all the help that was given to me so far, thank you everybody Quote
hoss Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I have not used CAD2009 yet, but I think it won't be any different to older versions for what you are going to do. Open Drafting Setting under tools menu and select Isometric snap in the snap type section, or type "_dsettings" to open this box and select Isometric snap. then click on ok and you are ready to draw in isometric. To change isopalne (or side of drawing) use F5. After finishing go back to Drafting Setting and select rectangular snap to get back in normal mode. Quote
ALoock Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Thank you hoss. I think I did not explain myself properly the first time, English is not my first language and I am new to anything related to Autocad. I attached the image in the hope that it will help clarify the questoin. In order to draw this I draw two iso sircles for the inner and outer "frame". I just can't figure out how to make the "teeth" of the gear as it is never the same length. 3 Way Gear lock.pdf Quote
hoss Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Personally I don't think this has been done as isometric. It seems like solid drawing with equal teeth all way around. The only reason you have different measurement on different areas is due to how the object is show in 3D. This is my view and I might be completely wrong:unsure: Quote

johnnybean Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 You just draw one gear and then creat a polar array of the gear . Select the tooth , type AR enter , then select polar , 360 degrees , and Cad draws them for you . Quote
