Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter introduces isometric perspective in AutoCAD and how to use it. By strict definition, isometric perspective means representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions. The reason why one should use isometric perspective instead of 3D is that it is much easier to learn isometric drawing than to develop proficiency in real 3D. There is nothing inherently special about drawing an isometric design. One needs to draw a straight horizontal line and then rotate it 30 degrees counterclockwise. A circle angled away from users is an ellipse, and these shapes find wide application in isometric drawing. Users need ellipses for the base of the monitor in the upcoming computer desk drawing as well as the power button and extensive end-of-chapter exercises. However, isometric drawing is inappropriate when precision 3D drawings are required for design, testing, and manufacture. One should remember that isometric perspective is only for visualization. These are not true 3D objects and have no real depth, only the illusion of depth.
