3 Dimensional (Isometric) drawings in
AllyCAD
To produce 3 Dimensional (Isometric) drawings the cursor
angle needs to be locked at 30º.
To do this you right click on the icon shown below which
is in the SNAPS toolbar.
 |
|
This gives you five options. Select the keyboard option.
You are now asked in the COMMAND toolbar to enter a cursor angle. Type '30' and press enter. |
The keyboard is now locked at the set angles to draw.
You will see the angle it is locked at the bottom of the
screen where it says 'LOCK 30º'.
To change between drawing lines to the left, right and
vertical you can press the full stop (.) button on the
keyboard and you will notice the LOCK changes to 330º.
Press it again and it will change to 90º.
This allows you to draw at the required angles.
To draw circles in isometric you first need to make sure
the Isometric grids option is selected in the drawing
setup and that you have locked the cursor at the
required angle.
Then go to the DRAW menu and select Ellipse which
gives you two options: to draw a full ellipse or
to draw part of an ellipse. Once you have made your
selection, you will be prompted to position the centre
of the ellipse. Remember to have your cursor lock at the
correct angle for the positioning of the ellipse.
A recent AllyCAD update also allows you to draw the
ellipse by the radius rather than by the major axis.
