• Using 'LINE' tool, draw the stirrups and ties shown in figure

C1a:

• Using 'RECTANG' tool, draw a rectangle of 9"x21"
• Using 'OFFSET' tool, offset cover distance 0.5"
• Using 'CIRCLE' tool, draw a circle of dia 16mm
• Using 'COPY' tool, 'ARRAY', 'MOVE', place the circle according to the given drawing
• Using 'LINE' tool, draw the stirrups shown in figure

4. Place the columns inside the assigned box as per the figure

Set the units in 'Engineering' and precision (0'-0.0"), limits by typing 'LIMMAX in command line (100',100') and zoom all by typing 'Z' in command line (Zoom All). Adjust font name as romans.shx; Height as 8” in the 'TEXTSTYLE' settings.

1. Draw the table

• Using 'LINE', 'OFFSET', 'TRIM', 'ERASE', create a table for the window schedule

2. Provide annotations given in the figure

• Using 'TEXT' tool, type all the labels given in the figure
• Using 'SCALE', 'MOVE', and 'COPY' tool, place the text in the appropriate box as shown

RESULT

The window schedule is created as per the given figure

AIM

Create the drawing template as shown in the figure

INTRODUCTION

A drawing template in AutoCAD is a form used as a guide to making something.

PROCEDURE

Open the AutoCAD Application and create a new AutoCAD file with imperial settings. Set the units in 'Engineering' and precision (0'-0.0"), limits by typing 'LIMMAX in command line (100',100') and zoom all by typing 'Z' in command line (Zoom All). Adjust font name as romans.shx; Height as 8” in the 'TEXTSTYLE' settings.

1. Draw the table

• Using 'LINE', 'OFFSET', 'TRIM', 'ERASE', 'DIVIDE' tool, create a table for the drawing template
