Using Isometric Guides

You can draw objects in the Isometric Projection using Isometric Guides.

To Create Isometric Guides:

  1. Choose Layout | Grids and Guides | Create Isometric Guides...
  2. In the Guides dialog, set a value in the Sides of Rhombus field, and choose a color from the Guides Color drop-down list.
  3. Click OK. The "Iso-Guides Layer*" will be created on the top of all layers in the specified guides color.

To Delete Isometric Guides:

  1. Choose Layout | Document Layout to open the Document Layout palette.
  2. Unlock the Iso-Guides Layer.
  3. Drag the Iso-Guides Layer to the Trash Can icon. 

Notes:

  • An Iso-Guides Layer is locked by default to prevent accidental movement of the guidelines. You can add regular guides to that layer after unlocking the layer, if necessary.
  • When an Iso-Guide Layer is created, you cannot add regular guides to a regular Guides Layer by dragging a guideline from the Rulers. But you can add it by selecting Add Guide Layer from the Document Layout palette menu.
  • You can add more than one Iso-Guides Layer, just like regular Guide Layers, but you can only activate one guide layer, regardless of the Guide Layer type.
  • When there is more than one Guide Layer, select one of the Guide Layers in the Document Layout palette. Active Guide Layers will have "*" at the end of their names as an indicator.
  • When you show or hide Guides in the Properties bar, it will apply to the active layer.
  • You can change the guides color of Iso-Guides layers by changing the color of the Color Override setting in the Document Layout palette.
