Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare drawings by hand, including orthographic projections, to support product design, manufacture and installation. It includes knowledge of basic drawing symbols and conventions and a basic understanding of how computer-aided drawing (CAD) is applied in industry contexts, but does not necessarily cover skills in using CAD or in producing detailed and complex production drawings. Workers with this competency create drawings to support routine production and installation tasks in cabinet making, furniture, furnishing, wood machining and other industries. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
