Question

For what purpose are pins and clips used in engineering drawings?

A.

To transfer dimensions and dividing lines into a number of equal parts

B.

To draw horizontal lines, parallel lines and to guide/hold the set squares

C.

To fasten the drawing sheet on to the drawing board firmly so that it does not shake

D.

To support the drawing paper/tracing paper for making drawings

Correct option is C

Pins and clips are used in engineering drawing to secure the drawing sheet firmly onto the drawing board. This prevents movement, wrinkling, or shifting of the paper while drawing, ensuring accuracy and neatness.
Other tools serve different purposes: dividers are used for transferring dimensions, T-squares and set squares help draw lines, and boards support the paper. But pins and clips specifically ensure stability of the sheet during work.
