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 column schedule as shown.

INTRODUCTION-

• Column schedule means table containing all the details of columns required during construction process.
• Column schedule contails markings of column, size of columns, no of bars used, diameter of bars used, stirupps details and loacation of bars, etc.
• Column schedule is given to us by structural engineer. 
• commands in autoCAD-
  • Line- Start the Line command by clicking the Line button on the Draw panel on the Ribbon, or by entering L and then pressing Enter. Draw line segments by picking several random points. Terminate the command by pressing Enter, Esc, or the spacebar. Press Enter or the spacebar to repeat the Line command.
  • Circle- To draw a circle with AutoCAD, enter the CIRCLE command and With this option, you first click where you want the center point of the circle to be, then move the pointing device to establish the perimeter of the circle.
  • Dimensions- You can select objects or points on objects to dimension, and then click to place the dimension line. When you hover over an object, the DIM command automatically generates a preview of a suitable dimension type to use. Supported dimension types include vertical, horizontal, and aligned linear dimensions.
  • Text- Select text command from the Annotation menu of the Home tab of this software. We have two types of text command in auto cad. One is Multiline text, and the other is Single line text. You can use any one of the text commands according to your requirement.
