Q: What is an isometric drawing pad used for?
It lets you sketch a project in three dimensions without the distortion of perspective, so you can take measurements directly from the drawing rather than working them out separately.

While pads with angled lines for isometric drawings were once common, they have become harder to find due to the growing use of computers for drafting. A great asset for designing a project, an isometric drawing lets you see what a project will look like when it is built. Because the dimensions are not distorted by perspective, you can take measurements directly from the drawing.
To help you draw the diagonal lines required, the grid on the pad is made up of triangles with 60° corners. The solid lines are 1/2" apart with dotted lines 1/4" apart and dots 1/16" apart, making it easy to do scale drawings. The 8 1/2" × 11" pad has 50 sheets of heavy, opaque white paper. The 11" × 17" pad has 48 sheets.

This size holds 48 sheets, while the smaller 8 1/2" × 11" pad holds 50.
Solid lines are 1/2" apart, dotted lines are 1/4" apart, and dots are spaced 1/16" apart, giving you several reference scales on one grid.
Yes, that's the advantage of these Veritas isometric drawing pads over a plain sketch pad; because the grid isn't distorted by perspective, dimensions on the page match the real proportions.
Yes, the paper is heavy and opaque, so marks on one sheet won't show through to the sheet underneath.
