Overview

step 10

AxoTools adds tools to assist in making axonometric drawings.

AxoTools includes twelve tools and six panels. The typical workflow with AxoTools is to draw orthographic views for the left, right, and/or top, then project that art to your axonometric projection.

Some tools allow drawing right in your axonometric view.

To quickly become familiar with AxoTools, please see the introductory videos.
