The Isometric toolbar contains commands to create 2D drawings that represent 3D elements, such as cubes. This type of drawing is called an isometric drawing. An isometric drawing is not a true 3D drawing, because you cannot view the drawing in perspective or from another angle. However, you can create a 3D effect by aligning the elements and objects in a drawing along three major axes.
The software supplies several tools to create these types of documents:
-
Isometric Rectangle
-
Isometric Circle
-
Isometric Line
-
Segmented Styles
-
To access these commands, click Tools > Add-Ins. On the Add-In Manager dialog box, select the Isometric Toolbar Commands check box, and click OK.
-
After you enable the Isometric Toolbar Commands add-in, you can use View > Toolbars to toggle on/off the Isometric toolbar.
