 A compass, more accurately known as a pair of compasses, is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs. As dividers, it can also be used as a tool to mark out distances, in particular, on maps. Compasses can be used for mathematics, drafting, navigation and other purposes 

 To interpret the size of what the renderings represent, the plan reviewer must use a tool called a “scale.” The word “scale” is used synonymously to represent the tool and the size reduction in the drawing. The scale tool provides a quick method for measuring the object and interpreting its eventual size when finished. 

 A straight edge is a cutting guide tool for copying a straight line from one location to another or checking the straightness of a line already drawn. A straight edge with equally spaced markings on it is called a ruler. 

 A triangle is a drafting tool used to draw accurate parallel lines, vertical lines, and other angled lines. Generally, two right-angled triangular pieces of differing angles form one set. On one piece, the angles are 90°, 60°, and 30°; on the other, an isosceles triangle is formed with angles 90°, 45°, and, 45°. 

 A T-square is a tool used in technical drawing, primarily as a guide for drawing straight horizontal lines on a drafting table. It can also be used in conjunction with a set square to draw vertical and angled lines. Its name is derived from its resemblance to the letter 'T'. 

 Drafting templates are stencils that allows you to draw specific symbols and shapes that you use repeatedly in a design. They're made out of a flat piece of plastic that have these shapes cut into them, and they act as guides on how they can be drawn on plans.
