Thanks for the info peeps, But sadly I need to be able to get an isometric output. My field is pipe manufacture and what I intend to write would be a program that can take 3D co-ordinates from a 3D modeling package such as CADDS5 and produce a nice manufacture isometric drawing to actually make the pipe too. There are a few products on the market that do this but they all produce an output that needs some cleaning up to make them clear enough for someone to use.

This is a site to the most used one, Have a look and you may then see what I am trying to achieve.
