AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensioning Isometric View (text Orientation)

Aug 3, 2012

I'm wondering is it possible to orientate the dimension text alligned to paper(2.jpg) but not the UCS of Isometric drawing(1.jpg).

Sometime I need to allocate my drawing with dimensioning in isometric view because its more easy to read.

I'm placing my drawing in *.idw.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create New Dimensioning Styles For Company To Use As Standards

Jan 25, 2012

I'm using Inventor 2010.

I've been told to create new dimensioning styles for the company to use as standards when making a drawing. One thing mentioned in particular was the inclusion of 0 inches in architectural drawings.

For example: say a part is 14 feet, 1/2 inches long. Inventor shows this: 14' - 1/2" , but they want this: 14' - 0 1/2" . They've had a problem before with the 1/2 being printed strangely, and the machinist thought it said 1 1/2.

They say that including the 0 is standard, and I need to make it happen.?

Revit :: Create Proper Dimensions For 3D Isometric Drafting Views

Apr 9, 2012

If it is possible to create proper dimensions for 3D isometric drafting views? In AutoCAD I could set an oblique angle for a dimension but in Revit there is no setting. I can only dimension 3D model views.
 
See attached PDF for example.

Illustrator :: Action Setup To Create Diametric And Isometric Illustrations

Aug 26, 2013

I had actions set up on an old computer to create diametric and isometric illustrations. The old scale, shear, rotate trick.I should have backed up. But I didn't, and through moving things from computer to computer to computer, I no longer have the actions. And now I need them.
 
I found what I need for Isometric in this thread here -URL...- specifically, Jet's image right down the bottom. Which is just what I need and have set up a new isometric action. is the numbers I need to draw a dimetric illustration.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Detail View Of Isometric View In IDW?

Sometimes when I try to create a detail view of an isometric view in my IDW, the "detail full boundary" option is greyed out? Why would this be? If I try an ortho view it works fine.

AutoCad :: Drawing Isometric In 2D

Feb 6, 2008

I'm currently taking an CAD program and I'm having trouble drawing a few objects in isometric perspective. These objects must unfortunately be drawn in 2D. I've drawn the orthographic perspectives for each object based on the dimensioning given however I'm unsure how to proceed on certain portions of the drawing. This is all homework and I doubt using any customization is allowed.

The first image is a top view of a fixture. I'm having trouble with the central portion which I draw by first constructing the vertical arm then using the array command.

Is there some way to create an array of this object that respects the isoplane that I drew my isocircles in?

If not, I'm able to look at the original using the VPOINT from the 1,-1,1 point and get the perspective that I want. Is there a way to use the UCS and trace over the orthographic perspective then take that traced image back to the world X-Y plane? I've tried this before but once I get it back it simply looks like the orthographic perspective.

The following drawing I'm simply having trouble drawing one particular curve which the green arrow points to. The drawing is of two perpendicular intersecting cylinders one having a slightly smaller radius then the other and the curve in question represents the edge formed by the intersection. The research I've done indicates that it's an ellipse however I'm unsure how to draw it correctly and the one I put in is simply an estimate. How can I construct the correct curve? Even if I could change viewpoints I'm not sure I could find a way to trace this one.

How to draw 2D isometric images from orthographic projections in AutoCAD as it seems many of the sites I find are either trivial or focus on drawing by hand.

AutoCad :: Turn 3D To Isometric

I have a 3D model, only poly-lines, i would like to turn it into a 2D isometric drawing (model space). Something similar to flatshot would do the trick. (flatshot works only on surfaces and solids...)

AutoCad :: MEP To PCF File For Isometric WS?

Nov 7, 2012

Im new to CADTutor, and fairly new to AutoCAD. I used to use Plant 3D which has the ability to create PCF's and Isometric drawings, but Im now using MEP. for the most part, a better solution for our company, but now we cant create isomtric shop drawings. AutoCAD now has Isometric WS CLoud. how we can create a PCF file from an AutoCAD MEP 2013 drawing? its seems rediculous that it cant?

it seems like Isometric WS is real loser if you can only use with Plant 3D

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensioning In 3D

May 20, 2012

Is autocad 2012 capable of dimensioning a solid object in model space horizontally vertically and diagonally say across the opposite corners of a cube, or along the hip of a roof?  What am I missing here, I am using the full version of autocad for exactly this feature but am still unable.

AutoCad 2D :: Dimensioning With Fractions

May 15, 2011

When I am typing out text and get to a fraction is allows me to stack it diagonally so the 1/4" looks nicer. When i dimension, however, it does not seem to stack the fractions the same way. I took a look at the Format - Dimension setting and did not see the option in there to change it. I would like to have the fractions stack diagonally like they do regular text.

AutoCad 2D :: Dimensioning Without Dimension?

May 26, 2011

When I am doing the details for a drawing I need to show the point at which a dimension on the elevations precisely starts but instead of the actual dimension I need a description such as "Frame Height", "Rough Opening", "Offset From Columnline", etc. I have always entered "T" after I set my two points for a dimension to replace the dimension with text. On my detail sheets there are a lot more of these than actual dimensions.

AutoCad :: Isometric Drawing And Fillets

Nov 6, 2012

I recently started drawing in cad, and i have a couple problems. At time now i am trying to learn more of isometric drawing and i have couple questions about drawing a particular figure:

21.jpg

So in there i don't know how to draw that "thing" witch i highlighted in red. I don't know at witch angle i should draw it's center(center length should be 50 cm). If I would know that, i could easily draw a isocircle above. So how do i find this "right" angle?

Second question would be about isofillets - i read here in forums that i should do them in isocircles, and i did that and i got good results - it looks very good, but the problem is, that in this drawing, it shows that those isocircles should have a defined radius - R6, R16 and etc, but if i do round corners with isocircles, i dont get that result(in R16 case radius is even way too big). So maybe there is a way to do them "right" and have them defined? I attached that drawing .

AutoCad :: Isometric Piping Drawings

May 14, 2013

When I start an Iso drawing should I use the 3D Views under the View tab and set it to SW Isometric or should I use the Snap/Style/Isometric way? I like using the 3D views, but it doesnt set the drawing up the same. What is the accepted procedure.

AutoCad 3D :: Dimensions To Vertical In The Isometric

Jul 23, 2012

I'm working on a project where I've modeled obstacles for an obstacle course on a military installation and I'm having some issues with isometric views and adding dimensions at various UCS orientations.

Basically, each obstacle has a plan view and an isometric to depict height of some of the material above ground level and below.

I've tried re-orienting the UCS to accomodate the dimensions and it works to a degree but there has to be an easier way.

When I select the points for my dimension, I'm prompted...

Specify dimension line location or
[Mtext/Text/Angle/Horizontal/Vertical/Rotated]:

I need the dimensions to be vertical in the isometric. I've been messing with it and I was able to eventually get it right but is there an easier way?

Whenever the dimension is drawn in model space the dimenion ends up far from where it needs to be. I always have to relocate it and re-select where I want the dimension lines to be.

Also, is there some kind of add-on that might make 3D dimensions easier?

Also, I have a thin solid representing the ground level so that everything below ground level results in a hidden line (due to the visual style I'm using) in the isometric drawings.

This works out great but any dimensions below ground level end up hidden. I don't think there is any way around this though with the style I have in use.

I've gone with simple callouts specifying overall material heights to avoid these issues in the meantime.
