Create 3D rectangle, type in Box, specify start point at (0,0), specify next corner at (10,10), specify height at 10.
To Copy or Move, type Copy or Move>input distance>select move point>Enter
Type Isometric>Specify view point direction (NE,NW,SE,SW)>Enter
To make several objects into a group, type Group>select objects>Enter
To join separate curves into a single polyline, Type Join>select objects>Enter
