In this project, we will discuss about the procedure how column scheduling is done.
PROCEDURE:
- Open AutoCAD software
- Start from scratch
- Choose Engineering units
- Specify the limits as lower left corner (0,0) and upper right corner (100’,100’)
- Go to
< Annotate
< manage text styles
< Create new style 1
< Choose font as romans.shx
< set text height to 8”
< Apply
< Set current
< Close.
- Use the command Dtext or Single line text to create the words.
- Invoke
< Command Dtext
< Specify the start
< Justify as Left
< Mention the rotation angle as 0 degree for horizontal text, 90 degrees for vertical text or give any required angle and press enter
< and start typing the text.
- Using the line command, a suitable table is created to fit in the words perfectly.
- Reference lines are created at necessary places to align the words perfectly in the table.
- After completion, the reference lines are trimmed.
- If there are any mistakes in the words, it can be edited using the command ED(TextEdit).
- Also, spell check can be done.

- Also, spell check can be done.
- Here, the scale factor is reduced to 0.8 to fit inside the table.
- In this, the scale factor is further more reduced to 0.6 to fit inside the box since it is a long text.
