Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce manual and computer-aided drawings of furnishing or similar products from design concepts.

This unit applies to individuals required to create drawings as part of their job role in design, manufacturing and similar workplaces, either alone or as part of an internal or external team.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.

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

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for drawing work

1.1 Identify product purpose, characteristics and production materials and methods, and assess impact of these on drawing process

1.2 Confirm type of drawing to be developed from information and select appropriate medium and tools

1.3 Set up hardware and software as required in accordance with operating instructions and workplaces procedures

1.4 Identify drawing conventions and specifications for notation on drawing

1.5 Establish and document design concept requirements, identifying dimensions, angles, shapes and finished size

2. Quantify and draft initial drawing

2.1 Accurately plot dimensions from prototype sketch and documented specifications

2.2 Connect dimensional points to match appropriate drawing view

2.3 Accurately note required production information or special requirements

2.4 Note drawing conventions and specifications on documentation

3. Complete drawing

3.1 Check angles, shapes and dimensions against specifications and concept prototype drawing

3.2 Identify and make required adjustments to designs based on review and consultation with relevant people

3.3 Check drawing for compliance with workplaces documentation requirements
