Stonesense is a third party visualizer, implemented as a DFHack plugin, that lets you view your Dwarf Fortress world in a classic isometric perspective.
There is an official thread for feedback, questions, requests or bug reports. There is also a thread dedicated to screenshots taken using Stonesense.
For Users
Stonesense is distributed as part of DFHack, and included in the Lazy Newb Pack.
The standard function (dfhack "stonesense") opens a separate viewer window, which has read-only access to the game. It can follow the game view, or be moved independently.
As of June 2014, it is also possible to use Stonesense as a live overlay of the map in the main Dwarf Fortress window, replacing the usual 2D tiles. The DFHack command for this is "stonesense overlay". For best results, edit \[segmentsize_z:2\] in init.txt, and if you are unable to see the edges of the map with the overlay active try also decreasing the \[segmentsize_XY\] - normal values are 50 to 80 depending on screen resolution.
