Introduction

This unit aims to equip you with the basic understanding and principles of a 2D drawing environment, in terms of hardware, software and physical surroundings. It will explore the typical composition of a CAD system and health and safety matters that are associated with safe working practices.

What will I learn

There are eight learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will be able to: • Use associated IT, CAD hardware and operating systems • Use basic file management techniques and maintain health and safety requirements • Use and identify key components of the software relating to the 2D drawing environment • Use a range of viewing commands and set up the drawing space • Use drawing commands to produce shapes • Use the CAD software’s co-ordinate system to aid accurate drawing • Use hatch, text and simple dimensioning routines • Use basic editing commands and produce simple hard copies.

What's next

You will be proficient to seek employment upon completion and can also progress onto the Level 3 2D CAD.
