Introduction

The course will cover a wide range of 2D drawing and editing commands and routines to aid the application and modification of the CAD software. You will become familiar with the necessary techniques required to produce and edit drawings of medium complexity and prepare the drawings for output to hard copy.

What will I learn

There are thirteen learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will be able to: • Use a layering system and different line type styles • Define and use a system for grouping objects to form blocks or libraries • Produce isometric drawings within the 2D environment • Define and use an adjustable co-ordinate system based on user requirements • Use complex dimensioning routines • Use different drawing spaces and complex multi viewing areas • Produce hard copies of drawings • Make inquiries of an existing drawing and place reference points • Use a means of pre-command object selection in order to carry out editing processes • Change the properties of a number of drawn entities • Edit blocks/symbols and hatched areas • Modify continuous lines formed by a connected sequence of lines or arcs • Use a method to remove unused items and rename other items logically

What's next

You will be proficient to seek employment upon completion.

Additional Information

This unit will be assessed by: • Two assignments covering practical skills • One GOLA online test covering underpinning knowledge.
