Title: Apply geometric construction principles.
Course: Drafting (21102-I) > Section: Performing Basic Drafting Operations

Application should include

- bisecting lines, arcs, and angles
- dividing lines into equal parts
- constructing parallel and perpendicular lines
- constructing angles and triangles
- constructing tangent lines and arcs
- constructing polygons
- constructing ellipses.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How are tangent lines and arcs used in drafting?
- What are some examples of basic geometric shapes used in drafting? In what situations might these shapes be used?
- Why is knowledge of basic geometric construction principles valuable to a drafter?
- How do the geometric construction principles transfer to the CAD environment?
