Drafting Compass black outline icon

About the Drafting Compass black outline icon

This icon shows a drafting compass standing upright: a short handle rises from a circular hinge, and two straight legs splay outward to sharp points, crossed midway by a long horizontal ruler bar. Together they signal technical drawing, measurement, precision and planning. Use it on architecture and interior design sites, engineering service pages, CAD and vector tool interfaces, geometry lessons and math apps, and portfolio sections about the design process.

The solid ring at the top anchors the symmetrical A-shaped legs, and the ruler crossing near the midpoint adds a second axis that keeps the mark from reading as a simple letter A. Pair it with pencil, ruler and blueprint icons for a toolkit row. The fine leg tips benefit from 32 px or larger; use the filled style for small buttons.

This is the black outline version of the drafting compass 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.
