Chapter 13. Isometric Drawing and Gradient Hatch Rendering

Chapter Objectives

Make isometric drawings to scale from 2D drawings.

Correctly use the following commands and settings:

ELLIPSE-Isocircle

SNAP-Style Iso

Use the <Ctrl>+E or <F5> key to change from one isoplane to another.

Use gradient hatch patterns to render isometric drawings.
