6. The lettering project: the second formatted sheet, at last

Required Often forgotten

Single-stroke slant or vertical Gothic, WITHOUT a template or lettering guide: a brief written argument for the most important benefit of CAD in one industry, drawing on requirements 2 through 5. This is the sheet requirement 1 had you format.

Notes and warnings

Warning. No template and no lettering guide. The requirement says so in brackets. This is freehand single-stroke Gothic, which is a skill worth practising on scrap before you letter the sheet you formatted back in requirement 1.

Where this step comes from

  1. Drafting Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-09-19), Requirement 6 · States that the experience comes from requirements 2 through 5, that the paper is the sheet formatted in requirement 1, and that no template or lettering guide may be used.
