Isometric Text

Isometric Text








 

How to make Isometric text?

First, create two styles. Use oblique angle 30 deg for one style and -30 deg for the other.

Now place your text (single or multi line), change the rotation to 30 deg or -30 deg. It depends on where you want to put it. See next image as reference.
Specify rotation angle of text <0>: -30
Try to create it with several style and text angle combination. Well, basically these three are all you need.

Now we have to do a little modification.
Activate DIMEDIT [enter], choose OBLIQUE, then give 30 or -30 as oblique angle. Once again, depends where your dimension is.
Command:  DIMEDIT
Enter type of dimension editing [Home/New/Rotate/Oblique] <Home>: O
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects:
Enter obliquing angle (press ENTER for none): -30
See this image as reference.

Now if you examine the drawing carefully, the dimension arrows don’t look right. They don’t look isometric yet.
