Drawing Perpendicular and Angled Lines

The document provides instructions for using drawing instruments, specifically T-squares and set-squares, to create perpendicular and inclined lines from a given point. It details the steps to draw lines at angles of 45°, 30°, and 60° to a horizontal line, including the positioning of the instruments. Additionally, it describes how to divide circles into equal parts using these techniques.

Art. 1-4] Drawing Instruments and Their Uses

Problem 1-1. To draw a live perpendicular to a given horizontal line from a given
point within it.
(i) Place the T-square a little below the
given line (fig. 1-6).
(ii) Arrange any one set-square with one
of the edges containing the right
angle touching the working edge of
the T-square, and the other edge
passing through the given point.
(ii) Hold the T-square and the set-square in
this position firmly with the left hand.
(iv) With the right hand, draw the
required line through the given point
in the upward direction as shown
by the arrow. The pencil point should
always be in contact with the edge
of the set-square. A perpendicular

line can also be drawn in the same manner. Vertical parallel lines
drawn by sliding the set-square along the edge of the T-square to the required
positions.
Problem 1-2. To draw a line inclined at 45, 30° or 60° to a given horizontal line
from a given point.
() Place the edge containing 45
the right angle of the 45°
set-square on the edge of
the T-square (fig. 1-7).
(ii) Slide it so that its longest
edge (hypotenuse) passes FIG, 1-7 FIG. 1-8
through the given point and
then draw the required line.
The same line will make 45°
angle with the vertical line

divided into eight equal parts by lines passing through its centre (fig. 1-8).
Lines inclined at 30° or 60° to a given horizontal line can similarly be drawnwith
the aid of a 30°- 60 set-square (fig. 1-9). A circle may be divided into twelve equal
divisions in the same manner (fig. 1-10).
