A novel multifunctional contour scriber is disclosed for the use in scribing the intersection contour when an arbitrary geometric body intersects a pipe at arbitrary angle. This multifunctional contour scriber can also be used for scribing at any angle a circle, equally spaced points along a circle, an ellipsoid, a hyperbola, a parabola, an inner or outer cycloid, or an involute of a circle, etc. on a plane, a concave or convex surface. The invention consists of a magnetic base, a rotary unit, a hinge unit, a locking unit, a longitudinal rod, a longitudinal rod disc, a transverse rod, a transverse rod disc, guide sleeves, and scribing units. When scribing the intersection contour on the main pipe, the scriber is secured by the magnetic base on the main pipe. While scribing on the branch pipe, the scriber may be either secured on the ground or fixed in the internal wall of the branch pipe using three strute bars, thus it is readily adapted to delineating intersection contours directly onto the main pipe or branch pipe of various sizes without the necessity of making any developed view or template.
