What is an Isometric Drawing?

A 2D isometric drawing, which may be created from an isometric projection, is a flat representation of a 3D isometric projection.

This method of drawing provides a fast way to create an isometric view of a simple design. Distances measured along an isometric axis are correct to scale. But because you are drawing in 2D, you cannot expect to extract other 3D distances and areas, display objects from different viewpoints, or remove hidden lines automatically.

Before the advent of CAD, we created isometric drawings with our T-square (or drafting arm) and our trusty 30-60-90 triangle.

But you can accomplish the same thing in AutoCAD—if you know how.
