TECHNICAL DRAWING &
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
Chapter 4

ISOMETRIC
DRAWING
LEARNING OUTCOMES

It is expected that students will be able to:

• Understand the significance


of isometric drawing
• Apply the basics method of
isometric drawing
PROJECTION METHODS
INTRODUCTION

• Isometric drawing method shows the


drawing in 3-D
• The real shape of an object can be
easily interpreted by using isometric
drawing
• The construction of an isometric
drawing can be made by viewing the
object from certain angle and
directions.
SIGNIFICANCE
• In this Chapter, you will be constructing
isometric drawings from given
orthographic projections of an object.
• Isometric drawing is important to
engineering designers as the drawing
shows clearly what that has been
designed
• It is also useful for equipment designers as
they can easily interpret the method of
construction of an object or equipment.
• This type of drawing also can cope with
beginners of someone who has no basics
in engineering drawing unlike
orthographic drawing.
TRUE LENGTH
• Every measurements that are
transferred to the isometric drawing
is in its true length of the object
• However, only vertical & horizontal
lines in orthographic drawing can
be transferred directly to isometric
drawing.
• Inclined, oblique lines, circles and
others however cannot be
transferred directly and must be
drawn using certain techniques
Distance in Isometric Drawing

True-length distances are shown along


isometric lines.
Isometric line is the line that run parallel to any of
the isometric axes.

Nonisometric lines

Isometric axes

BASIC METHODS

• Isometric drawing is built on 3 main axis


namely the vertical axis and two 30
degrees axis from a horizontal line to the
left and right of the vertical axis

Angles do not appear true in isometric drawing
Isometric drawings have three principal planes:
•Isoplane right (P0,P4,P10,P6)
•Isoplane top (P6,P10,P9,P7)
•Isoplane left (P0,P6,P7,P8)
Isometric Drawing and Scale

Isometric drawing is a drawing drawn on an isometric


axes using full scale.

Sketch from an actual object

1.Place the object in the position which its


shape and features are clearly seen.

2. Define an isometric axis.

3. Sketching the enclosing box.


4. Estimate the size and relationship of
each details.
5. Darken all visible lines.

Sketch from an actual object

STEPS
1. Positioning object.
2. Select isometric axis.
3. Sketch enclosing
box.
4. Add details.

5. Darken visible lines.

Note In isometric sketch/drawing), hidden lines are omitted


unless they are absolutely necessary to completely
describe the object.

Isometric Circle
To draw an isometric circle
1. From the Tools menu, choose Drafting Settings.
2. On the Snap and Grid tab, under Snap Type and
Style, turn on the isometric snap and choose OK.
3. From the Draw menu, choose Ellipse > Axis,
End.
4. Enter i (Isocircle).
5. Specify the center of the circle.
6. Specify the radius or diameter of the circle.
Circle & Arc in Isometric
In isometric drawing, a circle appears as an ellipse.

Sketching Steps
1. Locate the center of an
ellipse.
2. Construct an isometric
square.

20
Irregular Curve in Isometric
Steps

1. Construct points along the


curve in multiview drawing.

2. Locate these points in the


isometric view.
3. Sketch the connecting
lines.
