Shear tool and isometric question
#2
I could be wrong but I do not think you can be definite. Unlike the paint tool where shift-ctrl constrains drawing to 15° increments the shear tool does not work that way. Then it depends on the view.

Cube A not possible by shear alone, it takes an initial shear (and guesswork) then a rotate. Cube B could be sheared in place but without that iso template no real way of knowing the angle. A circle is even worse.

Edit: Strictly A is isometric and B is (I think) dimetric, however it still follows the sides parallel, angle 30° principle

If you need to make iso drawings a CAD application is advisable. I use LibreCAD (occasionally), not bad and it is free.
