Create drawings using computer aided design systems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to prepare the computer aided design (CAD) environment, create two dimensional (2D) drawings and produce linked materials lists. Drawings can include plans, diagrams, charts and elevations. Work is completed in a forestry office setting.

The unit applies to Engineered Timber Products Technician, Timber Fabricator.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.

produce linked materials lists

across the above jobs, produce these different types of drawings using CAD systems:

plans

diagrams

charts

elevations

exploded views

incorporate these drawing entities:

lines

arcs

circles

text

hatch

dimensions

complete a basic report on drawing processes and equipment faults.

A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

common products for which computer aided 2D drawings are produced, their features, use and standard material sizes

for the drawing software:

available 2D drawing types

system functions and capabilities

methods to:

prepare 2D drawings

prepare and explode detailed views

link drawing entities to materials lists

extract supplementary product dimension data from drawings

store and retrieve drawings and materials lists

formats for and inclusions of materials lists

organisational policies and procedures for producing drawings and documents using computers.

The following resources must be made available:

computers, keyboards and industry current software programs used to produce computer aided 2D drawings and material lists

product information on which to base drawings

template materials lists

template documents for recording drawing processes and equipment faults

organisational policies and procedures for producing drawings and documents using computers.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must:

hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and

be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
