Learning Outcome 4 – Be able to produce engineering drawings using a computer aided drafting (CAD) system.
Prepare a template: standardised drawing sheet eg border, title block, company logo; save to file
Produce engineering drawings: set-up commands eg extents, grid, snap, layer; drawing commands eg coordinate entry, line, arc, circle, snap, polygon, hatch, text, dimension; editing commands eg copy, move, erase, rotate, mirror, trim, extend, chamfer, fillet
Store and present engineering drawings: save work as an electronic file eg hard drive, server, pen drive, CD; produce paper copies eg print, plot, scale to fit
- P7-Prepare a template drawing of a standardised A3 sheet using a CAD system and save to file.
