This image depicts a cube displayed by using eight different drawing profiles.
Top row, left to right: Dimetric (37,90,37); Dimetric (16,90,37); Dimetric (7,90,42); Dimetric (15,90,15).
Bottom row, left to right: Trimetric (12,90,23); Trimetric (5,90,30); Trimetric (45,90,7); Trimetric (54,90,17)
You can choose to work from one of four drawing planes:
• orthographic — draws on a flat plane, such as the top, front, or right drawing plane
• top — draws onto a projected plane bounded by the x and z axes defined in the drawing profile
• front — draws onto a projected plane bounded by the x and y axes defined in the drawing profile
• right — draws onto a projected plane bounded by the y and z axes defined in the drawing profile
The default drawing plane is orthographic. Although you can change drawing planes at any time, only one drawing plane can be active at a
time.
In this example, a drawing profile is depicted. The x-axis is 37° clockwise from a line perpendicular to the
y-axis. The y-axis is 105° counterclockwise from the true horizontal. The z-axis is 37° counterclockwise
from a line perpendicular to the y-axis. Therefore, the drawing profile has a value of (37,105, 37).
Using projected drawing modes
You can specify a projected drawing mode by choosing drawing profiles and drawing planes from the Drawing plane toolbar. However, you
can have only one drawing profile and one drawing plane active at a time.
