Drawing preparations
may include drawing name, labelling information, dimensions, specifications and information management requirements

3-D models
may include scale model components or 3-D computer images of componentry

Perspective view
is to include one, two and three point perspective drawings

Exploded
is to include all of the parts of a drawing separated into their assembly components

Job sheet preparations
may include file storage, product coding, inventory information and drawing management requirements

Orthographic views
are to include standard views (front, side, top, and so on) of a given object

Conversion
is to include the process of transferring computer generated drawing views to CNC machine operating centres for translation to program formats

CNC machines
may include computer numerically controlled (CNC) sizing machines or CNC machining and processing centres

Layers
are to include the analogous step-by-step added views of an exploded drawing - much like transparent layers placed over the top of one another

Drawing entities
are to include any single item created on the screen including but not limited to lines, arcs, circles, text, hatch and dimensions

Records and reports
may include the specified drawings, product type, sizes and quality outcomes
may be manual, using a computer-based system or another appropriate organisational communication system

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently generate and transfer complex drawings using CAD systems within organisational requirements

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Comply with applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice, including OHS, environmental and organisational policies and procedures, relevant to generating and transferring complex drawings using CAD systems
Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area
Efficiently generate and transfer complex drawings using CAD systems in accordance with site requirements
Effectively convert complex drawings to use in CNC machine operating centres

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace
materials and equipment relevant to generating and transferring complex drawings using CAD systems
specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI05 Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies
Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the essential underpinning knowledge
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate
Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English
Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment
Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role

The seven key competencies represent generic skills considered necessary for effective participation by an individual in the workplacePerformance Level 1 at this level, the candidate is required to undertake tasks effectivelyPerformance Level 2 at this level, the candidate is required to manage tasksPerformance Level 3 at this level, the candidate is required to use concepts for evaluating and reshaping tasks
Communicating ideas and information
By communicating in simple language to convey information and requests to colleagues, and report outcomes (3)

Collecting analysing and organising information
By collecting, organising and analysing information required to generate and transfer drawings using CAD systems (2)

Planning and organising activities
By organising work activities in the correct sequence for projects to be completed within the designated timeframes (3)

Working with others and in teams
By using effective communication and interpersonal techniques with colleagues and others to maximise confidence, satisfaction and productivity (2)

Using mathematical ideas and techniques
By calculating time to complete tasks and estimating tools, equipment and material requirements including dimensions and computer data (2)

Solving problems
By establishing safe and effective processes for generating and transferring drawings which anticipate likely problems to avoid wastage and downtime (3)

Using technology
By selecting and using computer equipment to generate and transfer complex drawings using CAD systems (2)
