Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad

Aim:- To create column schedule and drawiing templates using AutoCAD

Introduction:-

Column schedule:-

• Column schedule plays an important role in construction
• Column schedule must be checked properly before the construction
• Column schedule gives the number of main bar, distribution bars, stirrups
• It gives the dimension of the column and cover of the column

Drawing templates

• Drawing templates are the important while submitting the plan
• It involves many informations like direction of the building, designer, location, SBC of soil etc.,

AutoCAD:-

It is essential to draft the geometry

The different tools required in this drafts are construction line  (XL), text(MTEXT), donut (DO), fillet (F), offset (O), Hatching (H) and Hatch edit (HE).

Procedure:-

• Go to start menu, click on Start drawing
• Type stratup (Enter) in command line 
• Enter the new value of start up:1
• Go to application menu and select new or type new in command line
• In the "create new drawing" dialogue box contains imperial  type of systems and metric type of system 
• We select the metric system in the "start from scratch" option
• After that in Advance setup option select the decimal unit system in the units 

The above procedure should be followed every time when the new sheet is opened 

                               

                               Entering the start up command in the command line       

                             

                             Entering the value 1 for the start up

                                    

                            When we go to the new file then we get this file select the metric from start from scratch

                            

                           Then advance setup setting should be done by clicking OK 

                                 

                          Keep the units in decimal and adjust precision then click next            

                           

                           Keep angle in decimal degree and adjust precision then click next

                             

                          Select the angle measurement in east and click on next                    

                          

                            Select angle direction in counter clockwise and click on next

                           

                           Keep the width as 12m and length of 9m as default and click on finish
