AutoCAD (Computer Assisted Drawing) is a drawing software used by many companies, weather it is an engineering, architecture, or even surveyor, to produce a drawing of any type as long as it is withing the scope of work. The aim of this practical report is to produce an earthwork detail drawing using AutoCAD at Kuala Perlis, Perlis. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that the method was carried out using AutoCAD 2021. The command bar at the bottom of the program was used to reach the max amount of efficiency needed to produce a detail drawing in the quickest and most productive way. However, using hot keys are also helpful. Producing an earthwork drawing is a very long and tedious progress as it involves multiple parties. Among the problems that were encountered were unwilling higher-ups that prioritised bigger and more expensive projects and some technical problems with AutoCAD. The right mindset and techniques, communication with the engineer, surveyor, and officers can help in producing an earthwork drawing with the utmost efficiency and precision.
