      I seem to remember having some metal clips for holding paper to a drawing board, guess that is old fashioned now then?

      How about drawing pins?:)

      It needs to be something totally flat so u can slide the ruler over and draw where ever

      And drawing pins wouldn't go into the board

      I had a plywood board and a T square, :snork:

      You fixed the paper at the top edge of the board with two specially made springy stainless steel
      clips.
      They would work even on your board if you put the paper at the top.

      Much more modern than masking tape, and that was 50 yrs ago. :biggrin:

          But pete i wouldn't be able to reach and draw if my paper was attached to the top

          Im only small and my big boobs would get in the way

          It would be fine for bigger paper but no good for A3 which is the only size we were ever allowed to use at uni.
