Making Isometric Dimensions:Make aligned dimensions A, B and C on the geometry as shown in drawing A above using DIMALIGNED command.Now type DIMEDIT on the command line and press enter, select oblique from the command line as shown in the image below.Now click on dimension marked A from drawing shown above and press enter. Command line will prompt you to select an angle to align this dimension type 30 and press enter again. Your dimension will now align with the geometry to make it look like isometric dimension.For dimensions B and C you can use the same method with the oblique angle of 30 and -30 respectively.

Your final drawing will look like this after using DIMEDIT on all three dimensions.Making Isometric Dimension Text:The dimensions now look correct but when you look closely at dimension text they are still not properly aligned as per drawing. You need to make changes to dimension text also in order to make it look normal.Type DIMTEDIT on the command line and press enter then click on the dimension which you want to edit, I am selecting dimension C for this case.From the command line, select Angle option and type an angle of 30 degrees then press enter.

Personalize windows 10 without activation. However, if you have access to a Windows 8 computer, simply create a custom theme with a few pictures for the slideshow, export it, and load it in Windows 10. Changing the Taskbar color.

The dimension text will now align with the dimension line. For dimensions, A and B use an angle of 30 and -30 degrees respectively in DIMTEDIT command. Making Isometric Text:To write text on the isometric cube type TEXT on the command line and press Enter. Now click on the face of cube towards dimension C and enter a text height value and rotation angle of 30 degrees in the command line prompts.Type any text and press enter twice to exit the TEXT command, I am using “Text” as the sample text on the isometric cube.Repeat the process of writing text on the face of cube towards dimension B as well, but in this case change angle of text to -30 degrees keeping all other parameters unchanged.Now select text on the face of dimension C then right click and select Properties from the contextual menu. From the Text panel of properties palette change value of Obliquing to 30.Repeat the process for text on cube facing dimension B but in this case change obliquing value to -30.

The final drawing with isometric dimension and text will look like the image shown below.Do you have any questions related to isometric text and dimensions? Let me know in comments below.

We can create isometric drawing by changing the snap style. It’s really helpful. However, what if you need to draw polygon in isometric drawing?

Lee Mac has an AutoLISP program to do this. As you can see below, you can quickly draw polygon in your isometric drawing. It’s not a 3D drawing, it’s a 2D drawing.

If you are interested, you can download the “isopoly” program here.

Using Isopoly

To use isopoly, you need to load the program to AutoCAD first. Refer to Lee’s guide to load AutoLISP program here.

After you load the program, change SNAPSTYL system variable to 1. Type SNAPSTYL then [enter]. Type 1 then [enter] again to accept the value.

You can cycle between isoplane by pressing F5 or type ISOPLANE on command line.

Lee also includes a short code to allow you quickly change SNAPSTYL using command line. Find it at the bottom of the download page.

If you are not familiar how to save that code to an AutoLISP program, read this guide saving: using and managing your AutoLISP program.

Lee has many great free AutoLISP program. If you never visit his site, check all these programs that you can download.
