A cavalier oblique is a type of oblique drawing in which an object is represented with its front view shown in true proportion, while the depth is represented at an angle, typically 45 degrees, and is not scaled down. This technique allows for a more visually engaging representation of three-dimensional objects while maintaining clarity in the front view. The depth is usually drawn at half scale, which helps to convey a sense of volume without distorting the front view. This style is often used in technical and architectural drawings.
One remaining drawing conventions is Oblique drawing - In this convention the angles used are 45 degrees and 90 degrees. The only difference between the two named styles is in the scale of the dimension going away from the viewer. This first example is Cavalier Oblique and shows the full scale (1:1) in the axis Cabinet Oblique' In Cabinet oblique the scale (depth) is halved whilst in Cavalier oblique the depth scale is the same as in the X and Y directions.
Oblique projection is primarily categorized into two types: cavalier and cabinet projections. Cavalier projection maintains the full scale of depth, resulting in a more distorted appearance, while cabinet projection reduces the depth scale by half, providing a more realistic view. Both types project the object onto a plane at an angle, typically 45 degrees, allowing for a clear representation of the object's dimensions and features.

Oblique cavalier projection is used in technical drawing to show an object in three dimensions with one face of the object parallel to the picture plane. This projection allows for a quick and easy representation of the object's form, making it a useful tool for presenting designs and concepts in engineering and architecture.
Oblique cavalier drawings tend to appear distorted and elongated. They are not considered as true projections despite being dimensionally correct.
1) Place the object so that the view with the most detail is parallel to the picture plane, especially if the view consists of arcs and circles. 2) Place the object so that the longest dimension runs horizontally across the sheet. 3) In some cases the above two will conflict, and when this is so, rule #1 has preference as the advantage gained by having the irregular face without distortion is greater than gained by observing rule #2. 4) Decisions about viewing an object in oblique projection should aim to show the object so that its shape is most clearly presented and is conducive to showing its dimensions.

Oblique lines:
oblique rectangular
Oblique means at an angle.
Slanting. A slash (/) is oblique
Oblique means slanted or at an angle.
It is a 3D representation in two dimensions. Width and height are drawn on horizontal and vertical lines and depth is on an angled line, usually 30 or 45 degrees.
