Just to clarify; is this a 2D isometric?  Or is it a 3D drawing in an isometric view?

Thanks for your reply,
The angle I need is a iso dimension set at the isometric plane
of the crosshairs. I'm setting my snap (crosshairs) in the isometric
plane and using dimAligned to pick the extention points and when I pull
the iso direction (with ortho on) the dim doesn't stay in the plane but
goes and an angle away from the plane needed.
There must be away to keep it in the plane your in .
Hope this clears it up a little if not let me know.
I have a file I can upload if possible.
Thanks
JP

_dimedit, oblique, and perhaps 120 as your degree value...

dims should stretch on the ortho planes by default... 

if this doenst answer your question, could you expand your explanation.

Greetings,
I'm trying to utilize dimAligned to make an isometric dimension.
But, when I pull the direction (30D or minus 30) the dimension pulls
into another angle. Almost like its locked on ortho at another angle.
It there a varible that I need to change to get the dimension to pull the direction
of my crosshairs?
Thanks
JP
