I thougt that was what "User" view was.

I'm probably wrong.

Yeah, User is an isometric viewport.

If you want the camera-version, make one, and check it's "Orthographic Projection" checkbox. And voilá, there be ye isometricness.

you right, the "user view" is the isometirc view, but I was wondering if there is a way to get an exact 30 degree isometic view?

You could use a line as a placement helper.

Make a straight line and rotate it 30deg. and then use align to get your camera on the line. check the orientation boxes and pivot boxes and xyz boxes.
