A sliding straightedge known as a T-square is then placed on one of the sides, allowing it to be slid across the side of the table, and over the surface of the paper.

" Parallel lines " can be drawn simply by moving the T-square and running a pencil or technical pen along the T-square's edge, but more typically the T-square is used as a tool to hold other devices such as set squares or triangles.

In this case the drafter places one or more triangles of known angles on the T-square — which is itself at right angles to the edge of the table — and can then draw lines at any chosen angle to others on the page.

A common error is to allow the triangles to push the top of the T-square down slightly, thereby throwing off all angles.

The top of the T-square hangs off of the drafting table and is called the head ; the blade is the part that stays on the drafting table.
