How to make an isometric drawing in Illustrator

Hi all -

I'm a technical Illustrator who has been out of business for more than eight years. I'm looking for anything - books, tutorials, regardless - that will help me to re - learn how to do isometric/axonometric drawings in the latest version of Illustrator.

I did a search in the forums and came with chips. There was a mention of the book Illustrator CS3 WoW containing a chapter on systems isometric. If anyone know if CS4 WoW book also contains this chapter? I really want to get your hands on something a little more complete, then pieces, I found so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sharon D.

PS: The Extrusion tool and 3D bevel really doesn't work for me because I work mainly with pictures of B & W line parts catalogs.

Hi Sharon

I found some information about this useful tutorials and probably have too much work for your projects

On programs, personally I still use Aldus Freehand for this kind of isometric (no joke), but, Yes, you can do some cool isometric in Illustrator too.

  • How to make the button script in Illustrator?

    Dear all,

    Recently, I always use Illustrator 2 free, script text are: "joinTextFrames" & "divideTextFrame".

    but I lost a lot of step to do

    for example, click: 1. Select text-> 2. File-> 3. Script-> 4. Another script-> load a script

    Fastest way-> Ctrl + F12-> load a script

    But now I want to do is the key 2 'joinTextFrames' & 'divideTextFrame '. The same way "mode button" in stock for faster work.

    How to make or solution to make? I really need it for my work.

    Thanks for your help.

    Save your scripts folder in the scripts, like that they'll show in the file-> Scripts Menu. Then, save the two actions to run each script, each gives a shortcut key (i.e. & F3 F2) or run the Mode button if you want to.

    Note that you need to re - register the action every time that you restart illustrator.

  • I have a really basic problem with Adobe to draw, I made a drawing on top a photograhp, then delete the background and now when I send the image in jpg format, it is too small. Any ideas how to make images to draw out more?

    Just like the title says, I have a little problem with Adobe draw. I put a picture as a background, designed something on it, deleted the photo behind and when I send the drawing to myself as an image is too small. I have no idea how to change or enlarge the image. Help?

    HI Marco,.

    I just spoke to the engineer on this yesterday (sorry, I wanted to write). We were unable to reproduce the problem, and looking at the code, there is no reason for this. I'm sorry.

    I don't know if this will help, but if you want, I can get you on the list of our tester for you the most recent draft of the app. If you want to try this, write to me (thanks to feedback in-app; tap the icon of the draw, then give us your comments) with the email address you would like that I use for Apple TestFlight.

  • How to make a specific text in Illustrator CS6 Italicize?

    I have problems of specific groups of text italic. I'm working on illustrations for a CD project. I have text lines include the authors of the song, I want to italicize, but I would like to than the other text to stay "regular". Older versions of Illustrator do that, but I have a problem. It is more a feature of the application? How can I do this?

    could not select the text on the layer of the work, or any layer for this

    I don't care.

    It's just what happens in a PDF file. When text tracking or kerning is changed from the default font, then it gets cut into pieces.

    And once again: Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF Editor.

    With regard to the files I and PDF to Illustrator, please watch this video:

    In order to solve your problem: you need to paste the text together again.

    Either by copying all the objects (all) text in the Clipboard, then create a text box and paste.

    Or with scripts.

  • How to make a sine wave in illustrator?

    Hello

    I started a thread earlier tonight, but I think I accidentally Pavilion as 'resolved' or something like that (I'm new to this forum). So I'll try this again. I want to know if there is a way to create a sine wave in illustrator. I managed to create a wave of cosine using the on line zig zag effect and choosing "smoothly". But I can't seem to find a good way to do a sinusoidal signal.

    That's the difference for those who ask:

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Sine_cosine_one_period.svg/600px-Sine_cosine_one_period.svg.png

    I want a sinusoidal signal like the image above.

    Thanks for the help!

    ekmanch

    ekmanch,

    If I (put) understand it, to create a single sinusoid full, you can:

    (1) create a horizontal line 2.5 times the length of the complete sinusoid desired (or you can adapt the length later);

    (2) effect > warp & Transform > Zig Zag 4 grooves by segment and Smmoths Points and height as the size (or you can adapt later);

    (3) object > expand appearance.

    (4) object > path > add Anchor Points;

    (5) with the scissors tool cut where the sine wave starts and ends.

    (6) separate if necessary and remove the end bits (and adjust the length/height if necessary).

  • How to make the corners snap in illustrator CS6?

    I slam set to 8 pixels.

    Snap to point 8 pix and makes TIC TACS,

    tolerance PIX 8

    even when I Zoom before and made dragging the corner of a rectangle to the guide (snap to guides is turned on), nod to the point is on, it won't break magnetically to the point as it did in CS5. I gave her a box of 8px to align automatically, but its does not work for me...?

    There is visual, the arrow cursor turns into white and a cross appears in the Middle when you manouvered one anchor on 2 guides that intersect, but this isn't snapping or be.

    What I liked about CS5 was that I could move a corner of the rectangle for a set of intesecting of the guides or another object anchor and he would jump to that anchor or guide when I was in the area of 8px. Even when I was zoomed out completely,

    You have commented under tension (CTRL U) benchmarks? In my workflow, I use this, combined with the snap to point.

  • How to make or VCS Expressway TURN illustrated works?

    Hi, Experts.

    My VCS Expressway equipped Tower, and I found for TOWER configuration is pretty simple, it allow just under VCS Configuration > Expressway > turn ON, but no matter, I tried, licenses of relay TOWER always indicated '0' in the 'current' line under the VCS Expressway dashboard.

    I took my test in this way, two Jabber client video (v4.5, MAC edition) reside in a different network behind NAT (no firewall), they call each other and regardless I turn on or turn off the TOWER, still good video quality services mine. (VCS Highway away from the two movi), I assumed that in both cases, the media traffic send directly between the two Movi, rather than climb up to the VCS Highway and then return, normally called us "Hairpin" traffic.

    The result is not I have enabled or disabled the service of the TOWER, it always not-pinned hair, and still no license relay TOWER was used.

    What happens here? something wrong? I'm quite confused.

    You have to turn on the feature of ice on the Jabber video model?

    On the model of commissioning, you must configure the address of TurnServer, TurnAuthUsername and TurnAuthPassword.

    You must also configure the authentication domain in VCS - E who use to run the server (you must set the match name and user password with TurnAuthUsername and TurnAuthPassword set up on the model of commissioning).

    Patricia,

    If you stop the subscription and wish to be fully able to open/edit/use/whatever documents, you need start the subscription again, or downsave to a version you have.

    I think that you are able to download a different trial for a further period of 30 days or only HAVE or the complete cloud (according to what is different from the test which has expired.

    Or you can pay for one month subscription to access documents entirely (and get the sorted results, as appropriate).

    THiiS is the fundamental difference between a perpetual license (until CS6, the only still available version of Adobe) and subscription (currently of CC 2915.1 CC).

  • How to make this shape in illustrator?

    Hello

    Shape.pngI want to make this shape in adobe illustrator, but I don't want to draw a path, is there an option that makes the sides rounded? photo shape was designed in adobe, effects, I made six sides of the polygon and there is an option in AE called "Outer roundness" that makes the sides rounded, but I can't find any option like this in illustrator, someone has an idea?

    Thank you

    To get something closer to your example, I tried the combination (using Pathfinder > unit) a (copy of the) Hexagon with corners applied and the other with a small amount of bloat (effect > Distort & Transform > Pucker & bloat), to round off the coast.
