Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to use basic computer-aided design (CAD) program functions and features to produce drawings. It requires the ability to operate computer applications correctly in order to perform the required tasks of a spatial project. Functions would be carried out under supervision and within organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Determine drafting requirements.
  • 1.1 Spatial data updates are accessed, read and interpreted to prepare for basic drafting.1.2 Entities and attributes are used to display spatial information assisting in the delivery of spatial information services.
  • 1.3 Drafting requirements are confirmed and clarified with relevant personnel according to organisational guidelines.1.4 Hardware and software are set up according to operating procedures.1.5 Basic digitised information that is relevant to the project is identified and retrieved.1.6 Computer hardware equipment is used to meet functional speed and accuracy requirements according to OHS requirements.1.7 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in drafting procedures.
2Gather object parameters and measurements.
  • 2.1 Critical dimensions and data for the required design are established.2.2 Requirements in relation to accuracy and tolerances are identified.2.3 Geospatial techniques available within appropriate software are used to combine spatial layers data to highlight selected features and improve the visualisation and understanding of the project.2.4 Spatial overlay techniques specified by relevant personnel are used to generate results pertaining to the spatial project.2.5 Cartographic integrity is tested and validated to ensure accuracy and quality.
3Prepare plots or drawings.
  • 3.1 Basic CAD functions and features are accessed according to operating instructions.3.2 Equipment required for the project is accessed.3.3 Preliminary drawings are reviewed with relevant personnel.3.4 Legal and ethical requirements are adhered to according to organisational guidelines.
4Check drawings and save files.
  • 4.1 Designs are checked against project objectives and specifications.4.2 Adjustments to designs are made following consultation with relevant personnel.4.3 Data files are stored according to organisational guidelines.
