   Hello MAYFAB, from what you say I supose that you want to dimension a 3D drawing and that will lead you setting UCS for each of your dimensions ( or use "ctrl D" active ).
For my 3D drawings I have set 3 UCS so that I can dimension in the first isometric view, dimension in the YZ plan, XZ plan.
I named G+ , 01 and 02 so that I can easily have them back.
You will have to know all about UCS settings.
If it's for a 2D drawing I hope that you use the AutoCAD settings for this :
Eventually, see my DWG file in the Cad Blocks library : 2D-ISOMETRIC_DRAWINGS_1[1].dwg + examples : 2D-ISOMETRIC_DRAWINGS_2[1].dwg so we can talk more.
Eventually download one of your files.
Ask for more.

	Is this a 2D or 3D isometric? If it is 2D then it is a matter of creating a couple of text and dimension styles first.

	Does anyone know how to dimension an isometric drawing? Am drawing up pipe runs and wish to dimension pipe take-offs. I can not get the dimension lines to be in the same plane as the pipe or take off, makes the drawing look very ordinary and difficult to read. Edited by MAYFAB - 22.Jun.2014 at 07:18
