Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use a range of CADD program functions and features to produce drawings. People working in many industries require the skills and knowledge in this unit, and the unit is written to allow for contextualisation to a particular industry context. Within the cultural industries this unit is relevant for people working across multiple sectors. The focus of this unit is on the technical skills required to operate CADD, and design skills are found in other units within the Visual Arts Craft and Design Training Package.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine drawing requirements.
- 1.1 Review relevant documentation/concept information to determine requirements and processes based on project objectives and parameters.1.2 Liaise with relevant colleagues to confirm and clarify requirements.
2 Select and set up CADD package.
- 2.1 Correctly identify required hardware, software, tools and equipment for the specific project.2.2 Correctly set up hardware and software in accordance with operating instructions and organisational procedures.2.3 Identify and retrieve digitised information relevant to the project.
3 Gather object parameters and/or measurements.
- 3.1 Accurately establish and record critical dimensions and data for the required design.3.2 Correctly identify the requirements in relation to accuracy, tolerances and other critical information.
4 Prepare plots or drawings.
- 4.1 Correctly access and use CADD functions and features in accordance with operating instructions.4.2 Correctly access and use peripheral equipment required for the project.4.3 Prepare and review preliminary drawings in consultation with relevant colleagues.
5 Check drawings and save files.
- 5.1 Check designs against the project objectives and specifications in accordance with organisational procedures.5.2 Identify and make required adjustments to designs based on review and consultation with relevant colleagues.5.3 Store data files in accordance with operating instructions and organisational procedures.

Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
ability to use the standard features and functions of a CADD program to produce drawings
knowledge of CADD capabilities and uses in relation to the specific industry context.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills using an industry-current CADD program to develop drawings for a specific workplace purpose.
Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
evaluation of drawings produced by the candidate
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of CADD features and functions
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties e.g. speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to produce computer-aided drawings.
This unit has linkages to a wide range of other units in various Training Packages and combined assessment and/or training with those units would be appropriate.
