Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad

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

Note: Create a column schedule with the help of lines. Also, insert text with the help of Dtext command or Single Line text.

Hint: Use font name: romans.shx; Height: 8”, Justify: Left

AIM:

To create a column schedule, and to draw the column showing reinforcement of the columns in detail

INTRODUCTION:

• The column schedule is a schedule which the details of column will be collected in the construction for design purpose. The column scheduling is very important thing in column detailing,

Commands used:

• Limits command
• Single Text command
• Line command
• Dimlinear command
• Trim command
• Mtext command
• Circle command
• object snap command
• DONUT command
• Divide command
• Offset command
• Units command
• Dimstyle command
• Extend command
• Mirror command

PROCEDURE:

STEP:-1

• Next we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command.
• Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
• First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally. • Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9".
• Finally we join the first line and last line.
• Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
• Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 20mm And take another circle as diameter 12mm.
• Now use the divide command and give the 4 segments inside the rectangle.
• Now place the circle in the every segment.
• After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
• Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side. And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position.
• And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees.
• And we denote the 12mm bars as "a", as shown in below figure.
• Here we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command. Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
• First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
• Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9".
• Finally we join the first line and last line. • Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously
• Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 16mm
• Now use the divide command and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle.
• Now place the circle in the every segment. • After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
• Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
• And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position. And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure
• 
• 

Step:-3

Column-2

• Here we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command. . Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
• First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
• Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9". Finally we join the first line and last line.
• Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
• Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 20mm for 8 bars.
• And take another circle as diameter 12mm for 4 bars.  Now use the divide command and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle. Now place the circle in the every segment.
• After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
• Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
• And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position.
• And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure.
• And we denote the 20mm bars as "a", as shown in below figure.

 Step:4

Column-2a

• Here we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command.
• Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
• First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
• Next we draw the 10" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9".
• Finally we join the first line and last line.
• Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
• Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 16mm
• Now use the divide command and give the 2 segments inside the rectangle.
• Now place the circle in the every segment.
• After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
• Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
• And we have to put the 16mm bars in middle also.
• And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure.
• 

 Step: 5

Column-3

• Now we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command.
• Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
• First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
• Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9". . Finally we join the first line and last line.
• Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
• Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 16mm
• Now use the divide command and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle.
• Now place the circle in the every segment.
• After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
• Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
• And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position.
• And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure.

Step:2

• After drawing the table we have to select the Mtecxt command to enter the notes and project details. . And the text height will be kept to 8", and it is the standard text height for entering the details of the project in the table.

RESULT:

• The Drawing template was created successfully in the autocad in detail. And we drawn the drawing template and written their details in the tablular form as shown in figure.
