Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Confirm drawing requirements
   • Confirm purpose, scope, and information and presentation requirements for drawing
   • Review available information relevant to project and work requirements, and identify and address further information needs
   • Identify computing equipment and software used in the organisation
   • Identify work flow and procedures for work supervision
   • Examine requirements for presentation of drawings

Required Skills

Required skills

Required skills include literacy skills sufficient to read instructions for drawings work using computer technologies and navigating software numeracy skills sufficient to interpret technical information and determine scaling and layout issues navigating software to manipulate drawing entities modify dimension styles create and use layers manipulate the drawing origin define and utilise symbol libraries utilise gridsgrid snaps and object snaps display views at multiple scales add title blocksframe to layout a drawing for printing prepare advanced drawings in plane orthogonal or equivalent set up prototype drawings define and extract attribute data create bills of materials BOM utilising attribute data and thirdparty application software

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes general knowledge of different approaches to drawing awareness of copyright and intellectual property issues and legislation in relation to drawing environmental and occupational health and safety OHS issues associated with the tools and materials used for drawing quality assurance procedures CAD program capabilities and processes

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to use CAD software to produce graphics commonly used in drafting work
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts Specifically the candidate must be able to work within typical siteteamwork structures and methods apply worksite communication procedures comply with organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements participate in work meetings comply with quality requirements use industry terminology apply appropriate safety procedures identify drawing work requirements and determine appropriate software functions and features identify features and uses of CAD software used in detail and design drafting access and use computing equipment and CAD software functions to produce drawing elements
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team Where applicable reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity age gender demographics and disability Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with drafting or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials
