			Simple animations provide extra clarity to processes and diagrams. You can build complex drawings piece at a time, or imitate actual movements of parts. Here the steps to simple animated diagram.
			#Create all the objects and roughly arrange them as you want the final diagram to look.
			#Select the first object to animate and select animations, custom animation.
			#In the custom animation list click add effect select entrance, flyin.
			#Select that object in the list and modify the start condition, direction and speed.
			#Repeat with the next object. Set it to start after the end of the previous.

	In an orthographic projection you see several sides of a shape at the same time. In an isometric drawing there are three distinct axes and with identical measures(There is no foreshortening)making it easy to transfer dimensions from a side views. In a perspective drawing there is foreshortening of the two axes reaching into the frame.		In an orthographic projection you see several sides of a shape at the same time.

	PowerPoint drawing tool box provides primitive shapes such as rectangles and parallelograms. Arranging these to make complex objects can be vexing and difficult to scale or twist. Its much easier to use the cube and cylinder tools which provide all faces, shading and are easily scaled. There are two ways to make 3D box.
