If you work in plant industry, then you might need to draw isometric drawings. If you use AutoCAD, you may wish you can do it easily. You can.

It’s not a 3D drawing, but 2D drawing by simply change your drawing orientation. You can do it by using snap, then change it’s style to isometric.

Command: SNAP
Specify snap spacing or [ON/OFF/Aspect/Style/Type] <10.0000>: S
Enter snap grid style [Standard/Isometric] <S>: I
Specify vertical spacing <10.0000>:

You can change your plane by typing ISOPLANE [enter] then select left, top, right.
