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.
View 9 Replieswhen using grids to draw, is there a way to get xara to snap to only points? lol i know i suck at art haha! but i think im getting just a tad bit better. no really today i drew a head and the other day i drew a car. at least i figured out how to draw on an isometric grid. i was using serif draw plus and i noticed that x4 has a psuedo 3d (which basically uses an isometric grid with snapping to angle. i know how the concept works now but im having some trouble snapping to the points. sure i could draw a flat car or a flat person but id rather keep at it till i understand depth. my current goal is to learn to draw depth through using an isometric grid.

I’ve tried a fresh scene (where everything works great) then merging my objects in (where everything gets jumpy again) I've tired restarting max and my computer.this seems to troll me every couple of months, I assume Im activating some sort of convenient feature, but can't figure out what it is.

Like in the backroground is some invisible pixel grids and everything is snaping to whole pixels. I dont want this. I Want to use whole space without automatic pixels adapting to my shapes. I want to be independent in creating my shapes without snaping to pixels grid.
And also want to ask you. If you would like create new guide lines it is non dependable on pixel grid. But after it when I want to snap my nex objects to it- it not possible. And when I tick in preferences/ general: ,,snap vector tool to pixel grid" everything become dependable to pixels and everything is snapping to pixels. I don t wanna this…

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.

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:

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 .

View 9 Replies View RelatedExactly what the topic title says. My goal is to draw a custom map with pinpoint accuracy compared to what I envision it as. So, I want to use a grid that I can fill in the individual sections of to create this image, and then remove the grid afterwards when I finish, or at least make it completely invisible.
Is there anyway to accomplish that?
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 am using education version of Autocad 2012 and have only around 2 gig of RAM. Whilst drawing , mainly in 3d my osnaps do not seem to work properly. In a lot of cases it is only the "nearest" snap that works. Sometimes I get no snaps when I think there should be plus I get a bunch of tiny green crosses around where I want to snap. Could my lack of RAM be causing this ?

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:

I have Mechanical 2011 and like the Grid On when I work, personal preference I guess. I have the system variable GRIDMODE set to 1 and the template drawing that opens when AutoCAD starts saved with the grid lines on.
I know the grid state is saved in the drawing but is there a way to have the grid always on regardless of the drawing, many drawings I work with are from outside of my organization.
Now i am working on setting up the grid system for drawings . My task is after setting the grid label the possition of equipments od Data Center( e.g ups, panels) on drawing. I am able to set the grid but i don't know how to get my grid coordinate identifiers(x coordinates and y coordinates) which will label the equipments.

I tried using command thru "Points - Create Points, Suafec - On Grid" I did everything as directed on screen. However no information is getting displayed on screen. I am bit confused. I have made sure no layers are frozen and point style is also correct (i.e. it is not none). Still I don't see any information on screen.
