The Product Design Higher specifically stops pupils from creating Orthographic Drawings from a model. I understand where it came from but I see as a limitation for the very near future Its not just Graphics that has these issues.

The other argument is that through 3d modelling, or a real model, pupils (perhaps) grasp how different views tie together.

I.e, if the pupils didn't spend amount of time would they be much more likely to 'fail' that part of the exam? Defenitely with things like Inventor, I've noticed how much quicker kids are at 'learning' software. Would have liked to come to the meeting, though you're right, I'm sure there is a lot of teachers out there who would like the time to go to such a meeting. On the note about Graph comm becoming outdated the way it is taught, a funny image popped into my head: the pupils from Islay, in class with a drawing board, pencils and rubbers.... and their Samsung Q1's. Hmmm? But is the 70% on drawing boards necessary? I.e, if the pupils didn’t spend amount of time would they be much more likely to ‘fail’ that part of the exam?
