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. |
1. Prepare for drawing | 1.1 Identify type of drawings to be created with computer-aided design (CAD) systems and where required check with appropriate personnel. 1.2 Select appropriate equipment and check for operational effectiveness. 1.3 Plan CAD process in line with organisational procedures. |
2. Set up CAD environment | 2.1 Customise system variables, menus and drawing defaults to suit production outcomes. 2.2 Develop macros to suit production outcomes. |
3. Create 2D drawings | 3.1 Create drawings using full capability of available software system 3.2 Link drawing entities to database attributes to suit production outcomes. 3.3 Create detailed views using various scales. 3.4 Save files in various formats in line with organisational procedures. 3.5 Format linked drawing entities as materials lists in line with production requirements. 3.6 Extract supplementary product dimension data from drawings. 3.7 Record and report drawing process and equipment faults to appropriate personnel. |

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:
set up system variables, menus and macros
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
