Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to create and output two-dimensional (2-D) engineering drawings using suitable surveying software. It requires high-level technical application and the ability to apply theoretical concepts to a range of surveying data specifications. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Prepare computer-aided design (CAD) environment.
  • 1.1 Objectives, deliverables, constraints and principal work activities are defined and documented according to the written spatial data specifications and legislative requirements.1.2 System variables are customised to suit standard operating procedures.1.3 Relevant manuals, instructions and operating procedures for software and hardware being used are obtained according to workplace procedures.1.4 Menus are customised to suit standard operating procedures.
  • 1.5 Drawing defaults are customised to suit the applicable drafting standards and procedures.1.6 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment.
2Create 2-D engineering drawings or three-dimensional (3-D) models.
  • 2.1 Engineering drawings are created using available software systems.2.2 Drawing entities are linked to database attributes to suit job requirements.2.3 Detailed views are created using various scales to meet job requirements.2.4 Plots are produced at required scales to meet job requirements.2.5 If a 3-D model is created, products are determined and entities are created in 3-D space to job requirements.
3Produce output.
  • 3.1 Files are saved in various formats according to standard operating procedures.3.2 Entities are produced from the drawing files or database and are listed in required format to meet job requirements.3.3 Supplementary data is extracted from engineering drawing to meet job requirements.3.4 OHS requirements are planned for and adhered to.
4Finalise the task.
  • 4.1 All required documentation is completed promptly, accurately and according to organisational guidelines.4.2 Relevant personnel are informed of the results.4.3 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.
