Tools Shape to be drawn
1. Ruler
Straight line
2. Triangles
3. Compass
Arc, Circle
4. Circle template
Using the Compass
1. Locate the center of the circle by two intersecting lines.
2. Adjust the distance between needle and lead to a distance
equal to radius of the circle.
3. Set the needle point at center.
Using the Compass
4. Start circle. Apply enough pressure to the needle,
holding compass handle between thumb and index fingers.
5. Complete circle. Revolve handle clockwise.
Using a Circle Template
1. Draw two perpendicular lines that pass through center of
a circle to be drawn.
2. Place the template till all marking coincide with center lines.
3. Tracing the circle. (Hold the pencil normal to the paper.)

Draw the line passing through
two given points
1. Place the pencil tip at one of the points.
2. Place the triangle against the pencil tip.
3. Swing the triangle around the pencil tip
until its edge align with the second point.
4. Draw a line.
