Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad

AIM

To create a column schedule as shown in the figure.

INTRODUCTION

Column schedule is a schedule that give the complete details of column required for the design purpose . It gives the size , mix , main reinforcement and stirrups required for the column design . Therefore column scheduling is important for column detailing .

COMMANDS USED

• Unit command
• Limit command
• Line command
• Offset command
• Trim command
• scale command
• Rectangle command
• Dimlinear command
• Mtext command
• Dtext command
• Dimstyle command
• Move command
• Copy command
• Divide command
• Mirror command

PROCEDURE

• Open a new file
• In the command line type units , select engineering(dimensions will be in feet and inches), and also set the precision
• In the command line type 'LIMITS' and specify the limits at lower left corner and upper right corner as
• Then zoom all

STEP :1

COLUMN 1 (C1)

• Using line command draw the column .
• First draw 9" horizontally and 24" vertically .
• Then again draw 9" horizontally .
• Finally we join the first line and the last line .
• Using offset command offset the rectangle drawn by 0.6" ,do it inside the rectangle
• Using divide command divide the rectangle and give the 4 segments inside the rectangle
• Using circle command draw circle outside of the previously drawn rectangle ,take diameter as 0.787" and 0.472"(by converting given dimensions from mm to inches )
• Now place the circle in every segment
• place the circle on one side and mirror it to the other side
• put the stirrups in the columns
• We denote 12 mm bars as "a"

COLUMN 2(C1a)

• Using line command draw the column .
• First draw 9" horizontally and 24" vertically .
• Then again draw 9" horizontally .
• Finally we join the first line and the last line .
• Using offset command offset the rectangle drawn by 0.6" ,do it inside the rectangle
• Using divide command divide the rectangle and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle
• Using circle command draw circle outside of the previously drawn rectangle ,take diameter as 0.629"(by converting given dimensions from mm to inches )
• Now place the circle in every segment
• place the circle on one side and mirror it to the other side
• put the stirrups in the columns

COLUMN 3(C2)

• Using line command draw the column .
• First draw 9" horizontally and 24" vertically .
• Then again draw 9" horizontally .
• Finally we join the first line and the last line .
• Using offset command offset the rectangle drawn by 0.6" ,do it inside the rectangle
• Using divide command divide the rectangle and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle
• Using circle command draw circle outside of the previously drawn rectangle ,take diameter as 0.787" and 0.315"(by converting given dimensions from mm to inches )
• Now place the circle in every segment
• place the circle on one side and mirror it to the other side
• put the stirrups in the columns
• We denote 20 mm bars as "a"

COLUMN 4(C2a)

• Using line command draw the column .
• First draw 9" horizontally and 10" vertically .
• Then again draw 9" horizontally .
• Finally we join the first line and the last line .
• Using offset command offset the rectangle drawn by 0.6" ,do it inside the rectangle
• Using divide command divide the rectangle and give the 2segments inside the rectangle
• Using circle command draw circle outside of the previously drawn rectangle ,take diameter as 0.629"(by converting given dimensions from mm to inches )
• Now place the circle in every segment
• place the circle on one side and mirror it to the other side
• put the stirrups in the columns

COLUMN 5(C3)

• Using line command draw the column .
• First draw 9" horizontally and 21" vertically .
• Then again draw 9" horizontally .
• Finally we join the first line and the last line .
• Using offset command offset the rectangle drawn by 0.6" ,do it inside the rectangle
• Using divide command divide the rectangle and give the 5segments inside the rectangle
• Using circle command draw circle outside of the previously drawn rectangle ,take diameter as 0.629"(by converting given dimensions from mm to inches )
• Now place the circle in every segment
• place the circle on one side and mirror it to the other side
• put the stirrups in the columns

STEP :2

• Draw a table as given below

STEP :3

• Next we need to enter the details of column using Dtext and M text command

• And place the above drawn column to their respective position in the column and scale them according to the table size

To Create a window schedule as shown in the figure

INTRODUCTION

Window schedule is a schedule which helps to give the details that required foe window construction .It gives the type, width, sill, lintel, location .

COMMANDS USED

• Unit command
• Limit command
• table command
• Offset command
• Dimlinear command
• Dtext command
• Dimstyle command
• Move command
• Copy command

PROCEDURE

STEP :1

• Open a new file
• In the command line type units , select engineering(dimensions will be in feet and inches), and also set the precision
• In the command line type 'LIMITS' and specify the limits at lower left corner and upper right corner as
• Using table command make table with 5 columns and 6 rows
• insert the table and adjust the size as required to enter the data

STEP :2

• Now we can enter the details of window schedule using Dtext in the above table

To Create the drawing template as shown in the figure

INTRODUCTION

Templates help to create a future drawing without intial settings ,it reduces the worktime .

COMMANDS USED

• Unit command
• Limit command
• table command
• Offset command
• Dimlinear command
• Dtext command
• Dimstyle command
• Move command
• Copy command
• Line command
• Mtext command

PROCEDURE

STEP :1

• Open a new file
• Set the units
• In the command line type 'LIMITS' and specify the limits at lower left corner and upper right corner as
• Next we have to draw the table using the line command

STEP :2

• After drawing the table using mtext command to enter the notes and project details
• Font= arial and text height =4"
