Requirement

3. The CAD drawing, and this one is not waiting on anything

Required Often forgotten

ONE of the same three subjects, produced in CAD as it would be used in manufacturing, with all title block information filled in. Requirement 1 formats paper for requirements 2 and 6, not for this, and requirement 3 names nothing, so it can start on day one.

Notes and warnings

Note. This is the only substantial piece of work here that waits on nothing. Requirement 1 formats paper for requirements 2 and 6; a CAD drawing needs none. If getting to the software is going to take arranging (a school lab, a library machine, a licence) that arranging can start today.

What this is made of

Where this step comes from

  1. Drafting Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-09-19), Requirement 3 · Asks for a CAD drawing and names no other requirement, which is why it is drawn outside the paper chain.
