This document discusses fundamental elements of drafting including sketching techniques, technical terms used in connection with lines, and arcs and circles. Sketching techniques include how to draw horizontal, vertical, and inclined lines. Technical terms define parallel lines as equal distance apart, perpendicular lines intersecting at 90 degrees, and intersecting lines meeting at a point. Arcs and circles are defined, with a circle enclosed by curved lines and its diameter, radius, circumference, quadrants, and tangents described.
