If you go to this article: <a href="http://www.visguy.com/2008/06/25/free-isometric-piping-shapes-for-visio/" rel="nofollow">Go 3D with Free Isometric Piping Shapes for Visio</a> I think that will take you to his web page where he's got some more isometric shapes. Also, Visio Cafe has some <a href="http://www.visiocafe.com/vsdfx.htm" rel="nofollow">3D shapes</a> that are worth a look. Thanks for mentioning the "Drawing Tools Shapes Stencil". Those shapes are actually my idea/creation from many years ago when I worked for Visio Corp. I am not sure if they are included with the Standard version of Visio, though. Does anybody know for sure? They can be found under: <strong>File > Shapes > Visio Extras > Drawing Tool Shapes</strong>. Hi Phillippe,

I remember having found other (Japanese ?) shapes that fill other gaps in the CAD capabilities. e.g. snap to the middle of a line. But I don't find them anymore.
