AutoCAD tools for Isometric Drawings

IsoMaker-Pro is a powerful drawing tool for AutoCAD 2000 thru 2006. It is valuable set of drawing tools which automates the creation of isometric drawings. It converts 2D Auto CAD drawings into isometric drawings. It even creates isometric fillets, isometric ellipses, isometric plane, isometric text, isometric elliptical arcs, isometric dimension and offsetting objects.

Included with this drawing tool is a fastener library allows you to create 2D entities or 2D isometric entities of assorted Nuts, Bolts, Screws, Washers and Structural Steel Shapes. The program uses an easy to use graphical interface that converts orthographic views into isometric views, and reduce the time it takes to complete isometric drawings.

The Isometric Drawing Tools

IsoMaker-Pro includes a floating toolbar that contains all tools below:

The Fillet Tool

With Iso Maker you can view and connects two objects with a smoothly fitted arc of a specified radius also called a Filleting. Within your Isometric drawing you pick and manipulate the objects you wish to fillet.

The Isometric Ellipses Tool

Quickly create full ellipses to represent circles in isometric drawings.

The Isometric Elliptical Arcs Tool

You can draw Isometric elliptical arcs in Iso Maker too.

The Isometric Plane Tool

Isometric Plane mode helps you create 2D drawings that represent 3D objects, such as cubes. Isometric drawings are not true 3D drawings. They simulate a 3D object from a particular viewpoint by aligning along three major axes. If the snap angle is 0, the axes of the isometric planes are 30 degrees, 90 degrees, and 150 degrees.

Left Isometric Plane: Orients the snap and grid alignment along 90 and 150 degree axes.

Right Isometric Plane: Orients the snap and grid alignment along 90 and 30 degree axes.

Top Isometric Plane: Orients the snap and grid alignment along 30 and 150 degree axes

Displays text on screen as it is entered:

ISOTEXT can be used to enter several lines of text on the isometric plane you have selected. The text you are typing at the Enter Text prompt is displayed on the screen. Each line of text is a separate object. To end a line and begin another, press ENTER after entering characters at the Enter Text prompt. To end TEXT, press ENTER without entering any characters at the Enter Text prompt.

The Isometric Dimension Tool

CAD Design is often divided into four phases: drawing, annotating, viewing, and plotting. During annotation, the designer adds text, numbers, and other symbols to communicate such information as the size and materials of design elements or notes for constructing the design. Dimensions are a common drawing annotation.

IsoMaker-Pro provides dimension tools that you can use to measure isometric vertical and horizontal distances un your isometric drawings. When you start a dimension you are prompted for the following:

Specifies the first extension line: You are prompted to specify the second one.

Specify second extension line: Specify a point (2)

Specify location for dimension: Specify a point

IsoMaker DIALOGUE BOX TOOLS:

From IsoMaker-Pro main menu bar, click IsoMaker. The IsoMaker dialog box will appear. There are four sections to this dialog box:

Fastener DIALOGUE BOX TOOLS:

From IsoMaker-Pro on the menu bar, click Fastener. The Isometric Fastener Library Dialog box will appear. The Fastener library allows you to *create 2D entities or 2D isometric entities *of assorted Nuts, Bolts, Screws and Washers. Select a standard fastener, thread style, other desired property, and click the OK button.

To insert the Part, follow these steps:

1. Click on the type of fastener desired.

2. Click on the fastener type.

3. Click on the fastener size.

4. Click on the fastener length.

Steel Shapes DIALOGUE BOX TOOLS:


From IsoMaker-Pro on the menu bar, click IsoMaker-Pro. A drop down menu will appear. Click on Steel Shapes. The Steel Shapes Library Dialog box will appear. The Steel Shapes library allows you to create 2D entities or 2D isometric entities of assorted Structural Steel Shapes in your isometric drawing.

(You may use the toolbar to achieve the same results.)

TO INSERT THE PART, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

Click on the type of shape desired. (Solid or 2D) If 2D is selected, a drop down list will appear for the view plane.

Click on the shape size in the Shape Size box.

Click on OK at the bottom of the Dialog box to insert the shape.

Click on the desired screen location to insert the shape.

At the command line, you will be prompted for the length of the shape. Specify the length by selecting the second point, or by specifying a number distance in the AutoCAD current distance units format.
