Autocad intermediate (woodworking)
Overview
Duration
Minimum 2 days of 6 learning hours per day
Purpose/scope
The purpose of training delivered against this standard is to provide candidates with previous experience of using AutoCAD, enhanced knowledge of the software and its capabilities leading to improvements in professional quality of produced drawings.
The scope of this standard includes:
- Drawings Templates – creating drawing templates, including new layers, attributes and text, dimension styles (set to different scales). These templates can then be used regularly in subsequent lessons.
- Blocks – how to create and use blocks (collection of lines saved as one item) within the drawing, adding attributes (text information) to blocks.
- X-reference – how to link a number of drawings together through the use of the x-reference command. This command enables multiple users to work on a master drawing through other drawings linked via the x-reference command.
- Line types – how to alter the line types of your drawing and adjust to be suitable within the viewpoints of paper space pages.
- Isometric drawing – how to set up the model space to draw in isometric and create drawings to give the impression of 3D.
- Hatching – exploring and use different methods of adding pattern to drawings.
Occupational relevance
Training delivered against this standard would be relevant to the following occupational group(s):
- operative and craft
- supervision.
