Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright / figure in a patent
French term or phrase: isolément
Hi there,

It's the first time I come across "isolément" in a patent and would like to know if there is any specific way on how to translate it.

"la figure représente isolément une vue en perspective d'une grille pour le mode manuel;"

Thank you :)
