The Projection from one plane to another one tool enables you to project drawn elements into another orientation. You have the option of projecting from a front view into a defined plane and vice versa. Arbortext IsoDraw also allows you to project drawings from one perspective plane to another.

Given that, in practice, the 2D data of a technical drawing is often available, this exercise examines projection from the front view into the isometric representation. This involves projecting the front view of a shaft and then completing the drawing in isometry.

This exercise simply lists the steps required to complete the drawing of the shaft and their correct order. With the exception of the Tangent to a point and Tangent to an ellipse tools, you should now be familiar with all the tools and functions that are required for these steps and know exactly how to use them.

As usual, the file containing the front view is located in the Arbortext-IsoDraw-install-path\Tutorial\Tutorial IsoDraw folder.
