Oblique Pictorial Axes
Oblique Axes
Oblique pictorials are drawn in a coordinate system where only one axis is at an angle from the horizontal. The angle of this axis may range between 0 and 90 degrees; however, the most commonly used angle is 45 degrees.
The features drawn on the plane defined by the vertical and horizontal axes are drawn at full scale and true shape. The linear features drawn on the angled axis may be full scale (cavalier projection) or may be drawn foreshortened. The most common, is half scale (cabinet projection, as shown in the figure).
