Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad

CHALLENGE-5

PREPARED BY- MEGHA GUPTA

Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCAD.

Aim: Aim of the challenge is to create the column schedule and drawing template in AutoCAD.

Introduction: In this project column schedule and drawing template have been created using various tools available in AutoCAD.

To create the schedule line command has been used to draw the tables and annotation command to write the text. Hatch command is used for showing the brick wall and concrete. Roman.shx text type has been used in this project with height of the text as 8”.

Procedure followed for creating the schedule and drawing template has been discussed below with each of the drawing.

1. Create a column schedule as shown in the figure.

Fig. 1: Column Schedule

Procedure followed for creating Column Schedule:

• Select the current drawing units as engineering.
• Select line command from the toolbar.
• Create the table using line command referring Fig. 1.

• Now, using annotation text has been added referring the Fig. 1.
• Text position has been justified to left using justification toolbar.
• Column detailing showing reinforcement of cross section has been created using line command whereas reinforcement cross section was shown using circle command.
• Circles have been filled from inside using hatch gradient command to show the bar.
• Symbol toolbar have been used to insert symbols like @, ∅
