Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad
AIM: Creating a column schedule using AutoCAD.
INTRODUCTION:
AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application. Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphics controllers. Before AutoCAD was introduced, most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate graphics terminal. AutoCAD is also available as mobile and web apps.
AutoCAD is used in industry, by architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, city planners and other professionals.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1: Open AutoCAD by clicking on the AutoCAD icon on the Desktop

- Similarly do the same prcedure for the other boxes in the first row of the table
- Now with Line tool and circle tool draw the column reinforcement details as per the dimensions given in the drawing
- Modify the line and circles with fillet tool, scale tool and mirror tool
- Use the 'Dtext' tool for the single line texts
- Also use the solid hatch for circles
- Similarly do the same procedure for the other reinforcement details
- Now select one entire reinforcement drawing and type 'M' for moving the object
- Select the base point anywhere in the drawing and move it to the corresponding box of the table
- Scale the drawing to fit in the box by using scale command
- Similarly do the same procedure for the reinforcement drawings
- Now Use 'Dtext' Command and fill all the boxed with the corresponding texts.
- Scale the texts to fit the boxes
- For main reinforcement detail and Stirrups boxes use 'mtext' commands (it is easier to install symbols using mtext command)
Step 5: Type command "save". A "Save drawing as" dialogue box will appear. Choose the directory and file name and click the save button.
