Engineering Drawing Radial Question

Recommended Posts

This isn't a question about AutoCAD.. but paper engineering drawings.

 

When drawing radii on paper do you align your compass with a rule to check its accurately at the said dimension? I'm baffled by how to draw a radii accurately.

 

Thanks

You always locate center lines of the radius (extend the center lines beyond the radius) and then use the compass to draw the radius, then draw the tangent lines to the radius. Not sure that answers your question, that is how I used to do it, back in the day.
