But the plug-in is not cheap, and you'd be mostly paying for its primary focus: multi-view ortho "drafting" features. So far as plug-ins, as I recall, HotDoors CAD Tools includes an isometric grid. Inkscape includes a user-definable axonometric grid feature, and can be had for free. That program is inexpensive, and includes that kind of "isometric" page grid.Ĭorel Designer includes a proper feature set to facilitate correct axonometric (including isometric) drawing. If you intend to use a "cheat" grid, you might do well to take a look at Xara Xtreme. But you can build several such grids (for example, at several scales) and just turn them on/off as needed. The only drawback to that is, it doesn't span the entire pasteboard. If you feel you need a grid, you can simply construct one with open paths and either store it on its own locked layer or convert it to pathGuides. Using those devices, I draw directly in the isometric without need for a grid. In Illustrator, I set SmartGuides to 30° increments and use a few isometric Symbols (for repeatedly-needed elements), a drawing of a Unit Cube and isometric protractor (for true measures and off-axis rotations), and a couple of scripts. ![]() I do alot of isometric drawing, and don't use a grid per se. ![]() If it's going to be raster images in final form, do you intend to draw it in Illustrator as vector artwork first, and then rasterize it?
