Hello, I want to create a 3 dimensional box to show to clients before we manufacture the acrylic display case. Is this possible in Corel Draw; please someone show me the best way to do this and include accurate dimensions on the drawing.
Thank you

Hi.
Jeff has a pretty cool macro on his site which may help you if you'll be doing this a lot.

Actually Axonometric 3 is about to be released, maybe today! ;-) Here is screen shot of new UI: Notice new copy lighting function:
I also have another amazing new one coming that distorts bitmaps: this allows "corner pinning" of bitmaps to vector shapes. Such as:

Can you upload an example of one you want to make 3D? then perhaps I can show a demo using your art.
This is an example of the box I want to draw accurately. I did this in corel designer trial and converted to bitmap to upload.
I want the box to be 400mm x 400mm x 1200mm sized to scale showing the dimensions on the drawing.

Here's how I'd do it. The left face of your example.. I'd draw it different, like this:
I used 2 different commercial macros for these feats: This one and this one
I'm checking with macro author about dimension line text size: for the moment it changes relative to the size of an object, but there may be an option in the near future for fixed point size. (UPDATE: the option is on front of macro. :-P) I missed it. LOL
