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 .

is it possible to change a 'flat' drawing into an isometric type of drawing? I currently have an end view of an item that I need to draw in isometric, but it's fairly detailed with curves etc and will take a long time to draw again from scratch in isometric...

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.

I don't know how to rotate the 3D image to exactly the isometric view (30 degree, in this case) I need. I'm using AutoCAD 2005. how exactly to draw curves right in isometric view without using 3D?

I am trying to draw a "u bolt" in an isometric drawing. I found one solution, that served the purpose of giving the customer the general idea of the stands we are trying to sell them, but I'd like to know if there is a way to draw it properly.
I have attached a pdf to show what I came up with. Pipe Stands.pdf The only way I could think to get it to work (look right) in isometric view was to draw to vertical lines, make an arc across them with the elipseisocircle, and then use the path array to fill the U shape with the isocircles. This keeps the tubular shape, and the number of circles resembles bolt threads.
My problem is that the u-bolt is only threaded on the ends, the arched part should be smooth. Since this u bolt is to clamp fiberglass pipe to the stand, those threads (in my drawing) could cause damage. In this instance, I just explained this in the email to the customer, but I'd like to find a way to draw it proper.

My boss said i could generate an isometric view of a drawing if i have the plan, elevation, and side views (makes sense enough). how do i go about doing this? is there an existing thread i can be forwarded to? (searching "isometric" didn't seem specifically useful.)

I wanted to create an isometric text in isometric view to indicate different names in different part.
Attached is the picture for reference.I did it using dimension, check the "hide dimension" option.But i can't hide the extension line.

I am using Xara Extreme 4, and am trying to produce an isometric drawing as I have previously done in CAD software. I have found that the lines drawn do not exactly "snap" to the grid points and some inaccuracy is evident if the drawing is magnified.

I want to know what is the better angle for drawing isometric stuff , Searching came up with 30 or 26.565 . however , i find 26.565 easier to draw with the pencil tool and i think it looks better . But 30 is very simple to draw because Paint.net do it when pressing Shift with the line tool .
So both drawing is okay , but i want to see your opinions about which one looks more like a professional isometric style , Here is an image of two boxes:

Is there another way to retract fillets? I've tried the ctrl, shift, and both at once. None of those key selections did nothing with my 3D drawing. Is there something I could do in my settings to adjust this?

I have a shape that happens to have many nodes; it was simple to extrude it (inventor saw it as a complete shape) but adding fillets is another story. each tiny segment requires a click to select it. is there any way to simplify this — either through simplifying the path somehow or by selecting the edge in some other manner?
i saw a thread on the forums about imported 2d vector files with a similar issue. I did import my file but it came from rhino. everything is fine except this one issue. i guess i could go back to rhino but i would prefer not to.
i have attached a small screenshot of one area of my sketch.

I have come to Inventor after using Pro-Engineer and Solidworks. How to find the inspect tools difficult to use? The effort required to find the radius of a fillet (for example on imported parts) is huge. I am using IV 2013.

I'm using AutoCAD 2010 32bit on Windows XP with built-in video - so no hardware rendering, etc. I have a situation where a 3D solid that I have created looses its fillets while creating a PDF.
The solid was built using Union, Subtraction, Slicing and Fillet operations. I have attached the DWG and two PDFs - one with fillets, the other without. Both PDFs were created within moments of each other from the same DWG. Notice in the DWG that the solid model has now lost all the fillets on the edges, but they were there when the good PDF was generated. I create the PDFs using ACAD's Output | Export PDF feature on a single Layout in Paperspace. When the PDF is generating, for about two seconds you see the solid edges loose their fillets, and then sometimes return to normal, but other times the DWG changes and I have to add the fillets again.
I know about using the Print option, and also 3rd PDF generators but they also fail - plus, I want to use Output because it's more convenient. I like AutoCAD, but I am thinking of dumping it for SolidWorks (which I just evaluated for 30 days). I can't be putting a lot of time into models that loose their fillets. This same issue happened to me about a year ago, and I finally had to re-create the model from scratch to solve. It's ridiculous that this doesn't work, it's kinda fundamental.
BTW: I tried a fresh OS and ACAD install and the problem persists.

I would like to place arrowheads on the vertical sectioning lines (for the hatched view on the right), as well as on the horizontal line (for the bottom view), but I couldn't succeed in doing this. So, I left it just as line without arrowheads. Also, I would like to know if there are options for dimensioning fillets, as the one in my drawing comes with round symbol of portion of circle upon which the arrowhead touch (instead of on the fillet itself) - see R.12 and R.50.

When I am adding blends or fillets to a 3D model, sometimes after picking a few edges I will inadvertently select a wrong edge. Can I deselect the edge and resume selecting edges for the fillets or do I have to start over from the beginning?

I am using Inventor 2012 and have recently experienced a problem with the fillet not working correctly. I have a curve and a straight line that connect and when I select fillet it will allow me to select the curve but not the straight line. I have been able to do this in the past with no problems.

We do technical illustrations and are switching to Adobe Illustrator from another software. One function we find very necessary is creating rounded fillets with specified radii between two lines. Is there a way to accomplish this with AI or is a script required?

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
