2D isometric draw using 3 coordination

[Anonymous]

I want to know how can I show the three coordination (x,y,z) -not just two-  in top view not a custom view. this will help in drawing isometric the lines ,text and circles without using ellipse as shown in attach . and the top view because the rest of the drawing is 2D .thank u

Hi,

>> and the top view because the rest of the drawing is 2D .

i wonder here ... are you talking about making 3d models ( Solids, surfaces and mesh's ) or just make isometric by ISODRAFT command ?

I think you need.to Elaborate your issue.... It's a bit Cloudy Picture I am getting from what you have Said......

I'm afraid that you might be making this more complicated than it needs to be. AutoCAD has isometric tools.

 It is just isometric but not using isodraft. Cause ISODRAFT makes u draw in 2 direction not three and also in this case to draw circle u should use ELLIPSE. I wonder if there is any way to draw in three direction in top view. And I think there is, as attached the circle seems as circle in isometric using CIRCLE order as shown in properties.

Sorry I know it is comblex and hope I was obvious.

Isometric drawings are 2D by definition. You can get close by rotating a 2D drawing to the desired viewpoint but it is still 2D drafting. As such, your question is seems counter intuitive.

thank you all,

Simply I want to know how to draw circle in isometric not using ellipse.

note:-

1- I think the solution is the UCS .if I can show the three direction in top view I will be able to CIRCLE TEXT LINE in isometric simply .

2- I got the three direction by right click the UCS -OBJECT-press on the circle .

Using 2d drawing tools, you can only draw in one plane at a time. Your illustration shows a circle in the XY plane. Your view is not a top view.  It is either one of the named isometric views or some similar view.  In the top view, only directions in the XY plane are visible, so the answer to your questions is a straight "NO".

If you want to model 3d objects, then use 3d solids.

To generate an isometric from 2d linework drawn in various planes, set the view to one of the isometric dimensions. Then use flatten.   Set the ucs to view. Cutclip the flattened objects. Set the ucs back to world. Pasteclip the flattened objects and scale relative to get them dimensionable.  This process will work but is more complicated than just drawing the 3d model and using either base view or flatshot or drawing in 2d using snap style isometric and using isometric ellipses.

Do you want to say that you want to draw a Circle in 3D in AutoCAD ....?

And when it is not.matching your Plane...? I mean the Circle should get drawn in Z-X Plane but it gets Drawn in X-Y Plane...?

If that's what you are Looking for then, Ellipse is the Right Command to Move forward with.... Under Ellipse is an Option of Isocircle..... Try using Isocircle... I think it will solve your issue.....

I still think you are overcomplicating this. Instead of asking how to do it the way you think it should be done, you should be asking how others do it using isometric drafting techniques.

A circle is 2D by definition, that is why people are having trouble answering your question. You can draw it in any plain and rotate to the target plane so that it appears to be an ellipse from the top view or you can draw it on the desired plane using a rotated UCS.

I think the Doubt over here is about Isocircle.....!!
