Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform advanced engineering detail drafting to Australian Standard (AS) 1100.101 Technical drawing - General principles or equivalent and has been developed for an engineering detail draftsperson. It can be applied individually or in a team environment where comprehensive responsibility for the production of the drawing is exercised.Critical dimensions and associated tolerances are determined where required and drawings can be created with or without the use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare for drawing work
  • 1.1 Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • 1.2 Determine purpose, scope and presentation requirements for drawing task
  • 1.3 Determine the information requirements for the finished part or item and its interaction with the next level of assembly or process
  • 1.4 Submit requests for further information (RFI) to designer where information cannot be obtained or calculated
  • 1.5 Identify relevant standards and terminology, symbols and notation required to comply with standard and design
  • 1.6 Prepare equipment and set up software for drawing work
2. Identify and apply dimensions and tolerances for drawing
  • 2.1 Determine methods of general dimensioning and tolerancing, classes of fit and forms of geometric shapes, from engineer, sketches or specifications
  • 2.2 Select dimensioning and tolerancing scheme and symbols consistent with standards and design requirements
  • 2.3 Identify and confirm datum points
  • 2.4 Apply the principles of general dimensioning to engineering drawing
  • 2.5 Apply the principles of general tolerancing to engineering drawing
  • 2.6 Check that each dimension and tolerance symbol can be clearly interpreted for application
  • 2.7 Re-dimension tolerance drawing with new datum positions if required
  • 2.8 Extract information from dimensioned drawing
3. Prepare assembly, layout and detail drawings
  • 3.1 Produce sectioned third angle orthogonal assembly drawings
  • 3.2 Project a primary auxiliary view
  • 3.3 Produce finished assembly drawings complete with required material, part and cutting lists, cross-referencing and any required dimensions, both overall and centre-to-centre
  • 3.4 Produce all drawings to AS 1100.101 Technical drawing - General principles or equivalent, and organisational presentation standards
  • 3.5 Check that all required tolerances and dimensions are on the drawing
4. Select material, components and assemblies
  • 4.1 Interpret specifications to determine material requirements
  • 4.2 Select components, material and assemblies from data sheets or manufacturer catalogues to meet specifications
  • 4.3 Produce bill of materials to specifications
5. Complete drawing work
  • 5.1 Verify drawing compliance with specifications
  • 5.2 Check drawings to ensure that assembly or fabrication is possible
  • 5.3 Document and save drawings in accordance with SOPs
