Auto Cad Project 5 : Drawing column details , inserting text for creating schedules and beam details
1. COLUMN SHEDULE:
Aim : To prepare the column shedule
Procedure:
Creating table:
- Create rectangle of 60' x20 ' ,explode it .
- Divide the 60' into 10' columns nad again divide each 10' to 5' by using offset command .Command "O" - select the left side line and give offset distance as 10' first and for the second as 5'.
- Create row at top and bottom of 2' and 4' respectively by offset command .Command "O" - select the top line and give distance as 2' again command "O" -select the bottom line and give offset distance as 4'.
- Trim off the unecessary lines.
Entering text:
- Enter the text in the table by using singleline text from the text drop down menu - specify the point of text- specify text height as 8" -text agle as 0 degree, in case of the text " TERRACE TO MUMTY" give text angle as 90 degreeand type the text . After entering the text ,right click and slect properties - then list of properties will be displayed -ensure that the text height is 8" and make justify : as left
- To change the style of text Command "ST" ,a dialogue box apperas and select the font name as "romans.shx"
- Then insert all the text or copy the text created and edit it to the required text in respective rows and colums
- Give the heading as column shedule:
Drawing the column section:
a. Drawing the column section C1 - Column of size 9" x 24" having 20mm dia reinforcement at 4 corners and 12 mm dia 6 reinforcemnt bars in between connected by 8 mm dia stirrup.
- Draw a rectangle of sixe 9"x24" - Command "REC" - specfiy a point - click on dimension in the command box - then enter the first value as 9" and second dimension as 24".
- Draw the column outline after a cover of 40mm ie ,0.5" by offset command Command "O"- select the object- give offset distance as 0.5" .
- Explode the inside rectangle so that the line can be selected seperately. Command "EXPLODE" - select the inner rectangle - enter.
- 
Drawing reinforcement:
- By circle draw the reinforcement Command "C" - click on tan tan radius on the command box- select the left line as one of tangent - top line as another tangent - give radius as 10mm ie,0. 4".
- Using mirror command create the reinforcement on bottom of the left side of column . Command "MI" - select the object - give the mirror plane as the midpoint of the 2' line by Object snap- midpoint on and click on "NO" for erase source object.
- Divide the line containing the reinforcement by command "DIV" - select the object (line)- no: of segments to be divided is given as 4 ,the line willbe divided
- To make the point of division visible , type Command "DDPTYPE" in command box - a dialogue box appears and select the suitable point type- apply.
- For the reinforcement of 12mm dia , 6 bars
- Create circle by commnad "C"- specify the centre point - enter the radius as 6 mm ie 0.2" .
- Copy the circle command "CO" - select the circle- select the base point as top point on the circle -and place it in the centre point of the point created by object snap on.
- Place 3 circles as such on each divided point , then dlete the points created.
- Create similar circles on the other side, right side of the column. For that,
- Mirror the circles Command "MI"- select all the 5 circles- create the mirror plane from the middle of the 9" line ,erase source object -give it as "NO" then the mirror image will be created.
Drawing stirrups:
- Connect the reinforcement of raidus 6 mm ,1st row from the top ,2nd row top and bottom and 3rd row from bottom.
- Connect the lines as top tangent of the two circles.
- Draw the rings by arc- 3 point method , and mirroring it.
- Fillet the corners of the colum outline with filet radius as 0.5".
- Use donout command to fillthe circle Command "DO" - specify the inner dimaeter as 0 and outer diameter as 0.8" for 4 corner reinforcement and 0.5" for inside reinforcement -specify centre of the donout , it gets filled. Mark "a" for in between reinforcemnet to indicate it as 12mm dimaeter.
b. Drawing column section C1a - Column of size 9" x 24" having 16mm dia 12 bars connected by 8 mm dia stirrup.

Drawing reinforcement :
- By circle draw the reinforcement Command "C" - click on tan tan radius on the command box- select the left line as one of tangent - top line as another tangent - give radius as 8mm ie,0. 3".
- Using mirror command create the reinforcement on bottom of the left side of column . Command "MI" - select the object - give the mirror plane as the midpoint of the 2' line by Object snap- midpoint on - slect erase source object as "NO".
-Divide the line containing the reinforcement by command "DIV" - select the object (line)- no: of segments to be divided is given as 5 ,the line will be divided
- To make the point of division visible , type Command "DDPTYPE" in command box - a dialogue box appears and select the suitable point type- apply.
- Copy the circle ( reinforcement ) and place it in the centre of the 4 points . as here all reinforcement are of same size.
- Delete the points
- Mirror the circles to the right side by command "MI" - select all the 6 circles ,then draw the mirror plane as the midpoint of the 9" line.and give erase source object as "NO".
Drawing stirrups:
- With line command draw lines in top and bottom of reinforcements to show the stirrups same in the next set also.
- With arc - 3 point methiod ,draw rings where required .
- Fillet the corners with fillet radius of 0.3" .

- Type the text we need to insert ,then press enter.
- If we need to change the style of text ,Command :"ST" - select the font ,here I have seleced "romans.shx"
- If we need to change the properties of text ,select the text then right click -properties ,we can edit the properties we want.
- Enter "TYPE" , "WIDTH" , "SILL" , "NO" ,"LOCATION" in the 1st column and "W1 A ,W2 in the rows.
- We can copy the text and use the edit option to change the text by "CO" command.
-Enter the values given in the table, for fractional numbers enter the multiline text option
- Select multiline from drop down menu of text, craete a rectangular box to type the text
-Type the number eg: in 1st row 2'-5 1/2" then enter a space , the fraction will be stacked horizontally.
- In the location row text should be multiline and text size needs to be changed so,select the text,right click -properties- text height- change it to 6".
- Use grips to adjust the text box width and height to fit in the column.
Result: Window shedule is drawn
3. Creating template:
