Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for computer-aided drawing work | 1.1 Clarify drawing requirements in concept or project information 1.2 Identify hardware, software, tools and equipment required for computer-aided design and drafting projects 1.3 Set up hardware and software according to operating instructions and organisational procedures 1.4 Identify and retrieve digitised information relevant to projects |
2. Gather object parameters and/or measurements | 2.1 Establish and record critical dimensions and data for required designs 2.2 Identify requirements in relation to accuracy, tolerances and other key information |
3. Prepare plots or drawings | 3.1 Access and use CADD functions and features according to operating instructions 3.2 Access and use peripheral equipment required for projects 3.3 Prepare and review preliminary drawings in consultation with relevant people |
4. Finalise drawings | 4.1 Check designs against project objectives and specifications according to organisational procedures 4.2 Identify and make required adjustments to designs based on review and consultation with relevant people 4.3 Store data files according to operating instructions and organisational procedures 4.4 Submit final drawings within agreed time parameters |
This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
CADD functions and features must include: | drawing tools to support methods for drawing: lines arcs polylines texts dimensions edit functions plotting and printing view displays working with layers. |
Evidence of the ability to:
select computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) hardware and software to suit project requirements
follow operating instructions and organisational procedures
use features and functions of a CADD program to produce drawings that meet project objectives
use feedback from others to refine and produce final drawings within specified timelines.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
outline the relevant hardware, software, tools and equipment used for CADD
describe the ways in which CADD is used within the specific workplace situation
describe typical features and functions of CADD programs, including drawing tools, view displays, edit functions, working with layers, plotting and printing.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
CADD equipment and software
project or concept information
operating instructions and organisational procedures
relevant people.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
