I'd like to take a look at those notes. The email address above is fine. Thanks, Ian.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to achieve but Illustrator CS3 can produce isometric projections using the 3D Effect (the isometry isn't going to please you if you're a mathematician but it's near enough for jazz). If you have an older version of Illustrator, go to Adobe Studio <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm> and in the Illustrator section search for "orthographic" or "isometric". You might also try <http://rj-graffix.com/software/plugins.html> Good hunting! -- Michael mhphillips at gmail dot com
