About the Drafting Compass Crossbar black outline icon

A drawing compass opens into an A shape: a knurled handle sits on top of a round hinge, two straight legs taper to fine points, and a horizontal crossbar with end blocks and a center pin locks the span. It signals geometry, precision, technical drawing and architecture. Use it in CAD and design tool palettes, engineering course pages, architecture portfolios, stationery listings and math worksheets.

Heavier strokes and the symmetrical splay make the tool read clearly even as a small toolbar glyph, and the crossbar adds the detail that separates it from a plain compass. It pairs with ruler, set square and protractor icons. Center it optically; the handle adds visual weight up top.

This is the black outline version of the drafting compass crossbar icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.

It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
