Isometric drawings

I’m trying to draw some pipe spools/pipe drawings in isometric form. Is there a way I can draw and dimension all in isometric? I remember when I used autocad there was a place to go into the settings to get the snaps to be in iso form, and using the tab key it would cycle through the axis or planes to draw in. I can go into Draftsight’s view tab and select under views the sw isometric or nw ect, ect. But when It comes to dimensioning it. The dimensions disappear or show no dims. Just line and arrows. I’m sure there is something im missing just let me know.
