Hi,

I am new to programming and am wanting to write a program that will produce an isometric representation of a 3D pipeline. I can get the make up of the pipeline from CADDS5 in the format:-
(itemdesc)(PC1=1452 320 -56)(PC2=-45 254 -1051) (PP=-754 280 -521) where itemdesc is the item description EG Tube,Tee,coupling etc. PC1 is the start point of this section. PC2 is the end point of this section and PP is the placement point.

From this data I want to create a isometric drawing with measurements against the lines drawn.

So where do I start or should I learn to dribble before I run?
