Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to use manual drafting and drawing equipment to produce assembly, layout and detail drawings to AS 1100 Technical drawing or equivalent.
Skills covered by this unit are applied individually or in a team environment where comprehensive responsibility for the production of the drawing is exercised, and critical dimensions and associated tolerances are determined as required.
Where a computer-aided design (CAD) system is used unit MEM09009 Create 2-D drawings using computer-aided design system and unit MEM09010 Create 3-D models using computer-aided design system, should also be selected as appropriate.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
