Adding angle dimensions to drawings

Standard Students will create and dimension single view drawings while applying geometric construction

The green lines below are indicating some of the construction lines you already have drawn

Measure along the angled line and make the following marks using your 0.5 6h pencil: -1/16 from the object line -3/8 from the object line -1/8 from that line

Use your 0.3 mm pencil to draw the extension line

Get out your compass Make sure that all knobs are tightened Let me know if you see any pieces or think it might be broken BE CAREFUL WITH THE COMPASS – THEY CAN BE BROKEN EASILY Make sure you have had instruction in sharpening the compass lead prior to using the sandpaper pad

Put the metal tip of the compass on the corner with a blue dot and put the lead tip of the compass on the corner with a yellow dot Swing an arc like the one shown below – should be a dark, thin arc with a gap for the dimension

Measure along the top horizontal construction line and make the following marks using your 0.5 6h pencil: -1/16 from the object line -1/8 from the arc

Use your 0.3 mm pencil to draw the extension line

Add guidelines for lettering, the dimension and arrows 45°
