Axonometric graph paper is very similar to Isometric graph paper. The primary difference is that the angle on Axonometric is 45 degrees whereas it’s 30 degrees for Isometric. This difference in angle gives 3 dimensional drawings a bit of a distorted look. Here is a great example of the difference between Axonometric and Isometric drawings.

I would be interested to hear about any other unique types of graph paper people have made with Excel. Contact me to let me know.

Now all of your squares should be the same size and the measurement should be in inches. Note, be sure to adjust your printing area appropriately.
