Frequently Asked Questions
Does this drawing board include a parallel bar?
No. The DEW AX Portable Drawing Board does not include a built-in parallel bar or straightedge. It is designed as a simple portable drawing surface that can be used with a T-square, ruler, triangle, or other drafting tools.
Can I use a T-square with this board?
Yes. Many students and hobbyists use a drafting T-square with these boards instead of spending extra on a built-in parallel bar system. It is a practical and affordable setup for basic drafting and drawing work.
What size portable drawing board should I choose?
Choose a board that is larger than the paper size you plan to use. Having extra space around the paper makes it easier to work with rulers, triangles, tape, clips, and hand movement while drawing.
