Hello,
I am translating a school report and can't quite get to grips with the last part of the following sentence:
ANGLES:
L'étudiant sait reproduire un angle donné en utilisant un gabarit ou par report d'un étalon.
Does this mean that the pupil can scale the size of the angle using a standard?
Any help would be much appreciated!

copying from a model/gauge
I can't say I see precisely what they are getting at and how this differs from a gabarit, but one of the meanings of étalon is "gauge", something you use to measure, particularly in a "go - no-go" sense.
