A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Using engineering graph paper

This grid starts at five squares per inch with a green line colour and darker lines at five-square intervals.

  1. 01
    Check the grid

    The starting spacing is ⅕ inch. Change the paper size or line colour to suit the drawing you are making.

  2. 02
    Plan your scale

    Use the darker lines to help count groups of five squares, then add your own dimensions and annotations.

  3. 03
    Print and measure

    Print the PDF at “Actual size” or 100%. Check the spacing with a ruler when the drawing requires accuracy.
