About the Drafting Compass Open Legs black outline icon

A drafting compass is drawn at an angle with its two legs spread open, a filled round pivot head at the top, a small handle nub above it, and a needle point and pencil leg reaching down to the lower left. Short tick marks along the legs suggest the graduated scale. Fits CAD and vector tools, architecture portfolios, engineering course pages, geometry lesson material, and precision or measurement sections.

The wide angle between the legs gives the mark a strong diagonal that balances the solid circular head, so it stands out among lighter line icons. Pair it with ruler, protractor, set square and blueprint icons for a full drafting set. The thin needle tip can thin out below 24 px, so favor larger sizes.

This is the black outline version of the drafting compass open legs 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.
