Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad
1. COLUMN SCHEDULE
AIM: To prepare the column schedule
PROCEDURE:
CREATING TABLE:
- Create rectangle of 60'X20' explode it.
- Divide the 60' into 10 columns and again divide each 10' to 5' by using offset command. Command "O" - select the left side and give offset distance as 10' first and for second as 5'.
- Create row at top and bottom of 2' and 4' respectively by using 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 the unnecessary lines.
ENTERING TEXT:
- Enter the text in the table by using single line text from the text drop down menu - specify the point of text drop down menu - specify the point of text - specify text height as 8" - text angle 0
- Incase of the text "TERRACE TO MUMTY" give text angle as 90 degree and type the text
- After entering the text , right click and select 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 appears and select the font name as "romans.shx"
- Then insert all the text or copy the text created and edit it into the required text in the respective rows and columns
- Give the heading as column schedule
DRAWING THE COLUMN SECTION :
a Drawing the column section C1 -
Column of size 9"x24" having 20mm dia reinforcement at 4 corners and 12mm dia 6 reinforcement bars in between connected by 8mm dia stirrup.
-Draw a rectangle of size 9"x24" command REC - specify 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 i.e 0.5" by offset command . command "O" - select the object - give offset distance as 0.5".

- If we need change the properties of text, select the text then right cllick - properties, we can edit the properties we want
- Enter "TYPE" , "WIDTH" , "SILL", "NO","LOCATION" in the 1st column and "W1A,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 the drop down menu of the text, create a rectangular block to type the text.
- Type the number in 1st row 2'-5 1/2" then enter a space, the fraction will be stacked horizontally.
