Drafting Supplies
• Mechanical Pencils - The lead is manually inserted and sharpened as needed
• Automatic Pencils - The lead advances as button or tip is pushed
• Lead Grades - Depends on the type of line– Thick Lines - 2H to F– Thin Lines - 4H to H

Drafting Supplies
• Pencil Motion - Keep pencil tilted at 45º with the direction of travel– Provide even pressure to create sharp crisp
lines
– Slowly Rotate the mechanical pencil as the line is drawn
– Practice this technique as often as possible

Drafting Supplies
• Technical Pens - Used to create inked lines
• Erasers - Use the correct eraser for the job– Do not press too hard to rip the material
– Erasing shields protect good lines
– Use a dust brush to remove the eraser particles

Drafting Instruments
• Compasses - Used to draw circles and arcs– Drop-bow is used for small circles
– Center-wheel is used by professional drafters
– Beam is used for large arcs or circles
• Keep the compass needle sharp and the lead point sharpened like a chisel point

Drafting Instruments
• Dividers - Used to transfer dimensions or divide distances
• Parallel Bar - Slides up and down the drafting board by cables mounted on pulleys
• Triangles - Two standard types– 30º-60º-90º is known as 30º-60º triangle– 45º-45º-90º is known as 45º triangle

Drafting Instruments
• Templates - A plastic sheet that contains standard symbols used for tracing– Be sure the scale matches your drawing
– Keep both sides clean
• Irregular Curves - There is no constant radii and is commonly called a French curve

Drafting Machines
• Arm Drafting Machine - The arm clamps to the table and the head can rotate to a variety of angles with different scales attached to it
• Track Drafting Machine - The traversing arm moves left and right across the table and the head can also lock and pivot

Scales
• Notation - Scale of the drawing is noted in each title block– Architecture - 1/4”=1’-0” or 1”=1’-0”
– Civil - 1”=50’ or 1”=500’
• Metric - Scale is based on the meter (m) unit– Millimeter (mm) is most commonly used on
drawings

11
Scales
• Architect’s Scale - Contain 11 different scales– Locate the correct scale before beginning– Ten of the scales are based on the inch unit– Other scale is divided into 1/16th of an inch– Be careful when reading from left to right– The 1/4”=1’-0” is the most common scale

Scales
• Civil Engineer’s Scale - Contain 11 different scales– Locate the correct scale before beginning
– The scales are based on the inch unit in multiples of 10
– Be careful when reading from left to right
– The 50 scale is most popular
