Drafting and Computer-Aided Design 10, 20, 30
Investigate the basic functions of 2 dimensional (2D) CAD software.
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Collaborate with peers to discuss inquiry questions such as: What is the value of computer technology in the field of drafting? How has the use of technology with respect to drafting evolved over time? |
| (b) | Open and save a CAD file. |
| (c) | Differentiate between presentation scale and full model (1:1) scale in CAD software. |
| (d) | Draw and manipulate elements (e.g., lines, circles, arcs, curves and polygons) within CAD software. |
| (e) | Manipulate elements to specific sizes. |
| (f) | Locate and use tools within CAD software to develop drawings. |
| (g) | Use various view controls such as zoom in, zoom out and pan. |
| (h) | Draw elements on different layers and turn layers off and on as required. |
| (i) | Create layers and loads in each line type (e.g., hidden lines, centre lines, guidelines, construction lines). |
| (j) | Discuss the value of using layers in CAD software. |
| (k) | Draw and complete title blocks with required information. |
| (l) | Plot files with consideration given to scale. |
| (m) | Use terms such as parallel, radius, diameter, tangent, intersection, midpoint, endpoint and perpendicular in proper context. |
| (n) | Create an ordered and logical layer structure by assigning a specific name and function to each drawing layer. |
| (o) | Develop an organized file structure so that drawings may be stored in a logical manner and easily referenced. |
| (p) | Reflect on and analyze processes used to create 2D CAD drawings. |
