Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to take measurements and collect and record all relevant information from a site to direct drafting work.This unit is suitable for those working within a computer-aided design (CAD) or drafting work environment and includes preparation of a freehand sketch that details a range of relevant information to be used in detailed drawings or design work. It also covers taking accurate measurements using a compass and straight edge and applying geometric construction methods.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
