Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad

 AIM : To Create some Schedules and Beam section view.

 INTRODUCTION : 

 Schedule tables :-

• Schedule tables can contain information from external references and block references, which typically must exist in the same drawing as the schedule table.
• Schedule tables optionally specify an external drawing, which is scheduled as if it were an external reference in the same drawing as the table.
• The advantage to this is that the graphics of the external drawing do not need to be generated in order to fill out the data in the table.

  Annotation :-

• Annotations are basically notes or other types of explanatory objects (or symbols) that are commonly used to add information to a drawing.
• Typically, annotation objects are scaled differently than the views of the drawing and depend on the scale of how they should appear when plotted.
• One can control the method that an annotation object is scaled by defining the object either as non-annotative or annotative.
• Non-annotative objects require a fixed size or scale that is calculated based on the scale used to plot the drawing.
• Annotative objects automatically adjust to display uniformly at the same size or scale regardless of the scale of the view.
