I used Inkscape a lot for making SVG digrams. When I wanted to make an isometric diagram, I would just make the diagram on a square grid, select the whole thing, rotate it 45 degrees, then scale it vertically - usually about 45% - but this depends on the angle of the front-back lines on your set of shapes. If you have arrows in your diagram, just convert the stroke to a shape and join the two objects in a boolean operation. This way, when you scale the shape, the arrow heads will keep the correct perspective. An isometric mode would be cool in Inkscape though. Hi Iztok.

Hi Iztok.

I'm having a lot of difficulty creating these. Thanks. Anyone know where I can get the actual .VSD for their sample diagram to analyze the connector lines.
