Once you do, then select the “Mirror” tool from the “Modify” panel and the object whose Mirror in AutoCAD you wish to create. Create an object using any of the draw tools. Step # 1 – Select the object with the “Mirror” tool. Change the “Standard” style to the desired font under the “Font Name:” dropdown list. Open the in AutoCAD and change the Text Style in the “Text Style Manager” by using the command ST. Tip: When editing the vertical geometry enable the Ortho function when moving fixed points vertically or horizontally.

These functions can be used to add fixed points to the alignment. Click OK.ĪutoCAD has a number of snap functions. Right-click at the point within the text where you want to insert a field, and click Insert Field. Select the AutoCAD text in which you want to insert a field. The final drawing with isometric dimension and text will look like the image shown below.ĭo you have any questions related to isometric text and dimensions? Let me know in comments below.Use this procedure to insert fields into AutoCAD text elements. Repeat the process for text on cube facing dimension B but in this case change obliquing value to -30. From the Text panel of properties palette change value of Obliquing to 30.


Now select text on the face of dimension C then right click and select Properties from the contextual menu. Repeat the process of writing text on the face of cube towards dimension B as well, but in this case change angle of text to -30 degrees keeping all other parameters unchanged. Type any text and press enter twice to exit the TEXT command, I am using “Text” as the sample text on the isometric cube. Now click on the face of cube towards dimension C and enter a text height value and rotation angle of 30 degrees in the command line prompts. To write text on the isometric cube type TEXT on the command line and press Enter. For dimensions, A and B use an angle of 30 and -30 degrees respectively in DIMTEDIT command. The dimension text will now align with the dimension line. What are the functions of AutoCAD AutoCAD has a number of snap functions. Type DIMTEDIT on the command line and press enter then click on the dimension which you want to edit, I am selecting dimension C for this case.įrom the command line, select Angle option and type an angle of 30 degrees then press enter. Select the AutoCAD text in which you want to insert a field. You need to make changes to dimension text also in order to make it look normal. The dimensions now look correct but when you look closely at dimension text they are still not properly aligned as per drawing. Your final drawing will look like this after using DIMEDIT on all three dimensions. .prompt you with the text string you specified for the attribute whenever you insert the block. Your dimension will now align with the geometry to make it look like isometric dimension.įor dimensions B and C you can use the same method with the oblique angle of 30 and -30 respectively. Command line will prompt you to select an angle to align this dimension type 30 and press enter again. Now click on dimension marked A from drawing shown above and press enter. Now type DIMEDIT on the command line and press enter, select oblique from the command line as shown in the image below. Make aligned dimensions A, B and C on the geometry as shown in drawing A above using DIMALIGNED command.
