Drafting Templates

---

Drafting templates are stencils that are made of symbols and shapes that are often drawn repeatedly. They’re made of a flat piece of plastic with these symbols cut into them, and they can serve as guides for drawing them on plans. Many drawing templates come with various architectural scales, which can be used for designing a variety of floor plans and elevation systems. This can include but may not be limited to:

• Doors
• Windows
• Plumbing fixtures
• Electrical devices
• Landscape features

Drawing templates can also be used for any of the following applications:

• Circles
• Ellipses
• Lettering
• Flow charting
• Mechanical drawing

There are, of course, many other ways that drafting stencils and templates can be used. So, feel free to look at what we have at Engineering Supply to find one that will meet your needs.

There are many tools that can be used in drafting, drawing, and design. Pencils, pens, rulers, compasses, and protractors are commonly used. But drafters may also use the following:

---

• Stencil
— A template that's used for drawing shapes or text, which can be done by pressing it against the drawing and filling it in.
• Caliper
— An ancient tool that can be used to measure certain objects and is still being used today.
• T-Square
— A classic tool that can be used to draw consistently straight lines by placing it on the edge of a flat table.
• French Curve
— A template that can be used to draw curves and other scroll-shaped objects.
• Scale
— A type of ruler that can be used to draw something to scale, which can be useful for drawing something very large or very small.

Templates have pre-dimensional holes that are in the right scale, so engineers can accurately draw a specific symbol or sign. Letter templates can be used to draw text (such as digits and letter characters), while others can be used to draw circles and arcs. Circle templates will have a set of holes that have been sized in a suitable manner, but there are others that can be used to draw other geometric shapes (such as squares, ellipses, and many other specialized objects) that can be used for any number of purposes. Some of them also include French curves, which can be used to draw smooth curves at a specific reference point.

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. Many drawing stencils used for drafting will come with different architectural scales, which can be used to design any number of floor plans and elevation systems. Some of them include but may not be limited to:

• Doors
• Windows
• Plumbing fixtures
• Electrical devices
• Landscaping features
