How to create isometric drawings from 3d?
I tried to use "2D drawings from 3d", then choose "Create 2d drawing from current view". The problem is I'm getting a 2d drawing is not in proper proportion. Is there a way to rotate the 3d model so that it can create an isometric drawing, or at least close to it. I think this is possible using certain rotation values for the x,y,z axis, maybe you guys know.

You can do it by pressing the right + left mouse buttons (an order in which you press the buttons is important). Then, when you move the mouse solids rotate.

For other options, see "Zoom/Pan/Rotation" at http://www.varicad.com/en/home/support/knowledge-base/

Finally figured it out, here's what I did:
1. "Tools" - "Predefined View Settings"
2. Set the following values:
x = 35.264
y = -45
z = 0
3. Click "Ok" to exit dialog box
4. Finally, click "Predefined view" icon
Now when you "Create 2d drawing from 3d view", you will get an isometric drawing, meaning a cube should look like a hexagon. Wikipedia, for more info.
Thanks, hope this helps others.
