Or we can type ‘TEXT’ in the command bar and press the Enter key. We can invoke text command from the ‘Annotation’ panel in the ‘Home’ tab. The final drawing with isometric dimension and text will look like the image shown below.ĭo you have any questions related to isometric text and dimensions? Let me know in comments below.Text command is very useful for add text or writing something into the drawing in a short time. Repeat the process for text on cube facing dimension B but in this case change obliquing value to -30.

From the Text panel of properties palette change value of Obliquing to 30. Now select text on the face of dimension C then right click and select Properties from the contextual menu. Repeat the process of writing text on the face of cube towards dimension B as well, but in this case change angle of text to -30 degrees keeping all other parameters unchanged. Type any text and press enter twice to exit the TEXT command, I am using “Text” as the sample text on the isometric cube. Now click on the face of cube towards dimension C and enter a text height value and rotation angle of 30 degrees in the command line prompts. To write text on the isometric cube type TEXT on the command line and press Enter. For dimensions, A and B use an angle of 30 and -30 degrees respectively in DIMTEDIT command.
