Positions of Isometric Axes
Isometric axes can be arbitrarily positioned to create
different views of a single object.

Sketching
Sketch from an actual object
1. Place the object in the position which its shape
and features are clearly seen.
STEPS
1. Positioning object.
4. Add details.

Circle & Arc in Isometric
In isometric drawing, a circle appears as an ellipse.
Sketching Steps
1. Locate the center of an ellipse.
Sketching Steps
1. Locate the center of an ellipse.
2. Construct an isometric square.
3. Construct a perpendicular
bisector from each tangent point.
Steps
1. Construct points along the
curve in multiview drawing.
