Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.

Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

MEM30001A - Use computer aided drafting systems to produce basic engineering drawings
EDX060B – Prepare basic mechanical and structural steel drawings to AS 1100

Course Description

This unit covers the necessary skills and knowledge to use CAD to produce multi-view, multi-scale detail and assembly drawings to AS 1100, including the creation and use of library parts and the use of third party software.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

EDX120B Use extended features of CAD

Element:

1. Produce multi-view and multi-scale drawings

Performance Criteria:

1.1 A multi-view drawing is produced from an unscaled 2D model.
1.2 Detail views are produced at different scales from an unscaled 2D model.
 

Element:

2. Create and use library parts and files.

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Library parts/elements suitable for standardisation are constructed and saved
2.2 Each library component is inserted at a specific scale and orientation to predefined locations in a drawing.
2.3 Library parts are modified after insertion
2.4 Library parts are modified and redefined
 

Element:

3. Attach attribute data to library parts

Performance Criteria:

3.1 The type of data to be attached is formulated and defined
3.2 The relevant parameters are set in order that the required data can be entered and attached to each part.
3.3 The data is entered for each part as it is inserted in the drawing.
3.4 The data is modified and updated as necessary
 

Element:

4. Extract and manipulate data from a drawing

Performance Criteria:

4.1 Data is extracted from a drawing.
4.2 Extracted data is inserted into destination files in spreadsheets, databases and word processing files.
4.3 Data is formatted in the destination file for analysis or presentation.
4.4 Data is analysed for a specific purpose.
 

Element:

5. Construct assembly drawings to AS 1100 by the use of library files

Performance Criteria:

5.1 Library files are combined to form an assembly drawing
5.2 Unwanted entities (such as dimensions) in a library file are removed from view in the assembly drawing
5.3 Library files are linked to the assembly drawing file
5.4 A library file is updated within the assembly drawing or the library file drawing.
 

Element:

6. Create entities in a 3D drawing environment.

Performance Criteria:

6.1 Simple 3D CAD models are created using lines, arcs and circles.
6.2 The coordinate system is moved and orientated to facilitate the placing of entities in the 3D environment.
6.3 Simple solid objects are created through the use of primitive solids and extruding and revolving groups of entities.
 

Element:

7. Add entities to a 3D CAD model.

Performance Criteria:

7.1 Entities are added to a 3D model to meet the specific requirements of the project.
7.2 Sectional and other views are generated from a 3D model.

Overview of Assessment

Assessment are conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set out in the National Training Package. Students are required to undertake summative assessments that bring together knowledge and skills. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment tasks detailed under the Assessment Task Section.

Your assessment for this course will be marked using the following table

NYC (<50%) Not Yet Competent

CAG (50-59%) Competent - Pass
