Functionality of Engineering Drawing Instruments
Drafter
It is an Engineering Drawing Instrument that has a Fixing Clamp which is Attached to the Drawing table, A Scale and Protractor combo attached to the Index plate, and a Reference mark that shows the 0 points on the protractor to make sure the scale is parallel to the Drawing table and a Locking knob to control the angle of Scale

Long Scale
A long scale is an Engineering Drawing Instrument That is used for the marking points, Drawing lines, and to measure the distance while Drafting
 |
| Long Scale |
Protractor
A Protractor is an Engineering drawing Instrument that is used for measuring the Angles between two lines by considering one line as the Reference line
 |
| Protractor |
Compass
A Compass is an Instrument used for Drawing Circles and arcs and Also to measure Distance with a scale as a Reference
 |
| Compass |
Divider
A Divider is an Instrument which is used to measure the distance between points and Draw the markings with a Specific Dimensions
 |
| Divider |
French Curves
It is an Instrument that provides the freedom to draw curves which cannot be done by the compass and free-hand
 |
| French Curve |
Set Square
It is an Engineering Drawing Instrument Innovation that has multiple use cases because it is kind of combination of Multiple Engineering Drawing Instruments such as scale, Protractor, Try Square

Important Information about the General stationery
Set of Different pencils
Engineering Drawing Pencils has Different variety and each variety is used for a Specific Purpose in the engineering Drawing
Here is the List of Different types of Pencils used in Engineering Drawing
Pencils are classified in a sequence Depending upon the grade: 9H, 8H, 7H, 6H, 5H, 4H, 3H, 2H, H, F, HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, 9xxB. Common drawing kits typically encompass the range from 2H to 6B as these grades cover a broad spectrum of techniques essential for various drawing requirements
Drawing sheets
The white sheets on which Technical and engineering Drawing are Drafted are called Drawing sheets, these are Available in a variety of Dimensions in which A2 size is Mostly Preferred for Engineering Purposes
