AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement - Examples page:1

1. EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION OF THE AUTOCADSTRUCTURAL DETAILING - REINFORCEMENTPROGRAM

Use AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement for preparing reinforcement drawings of typicalReinforced Concrete (RC) structures for a simple frame. In this example, you learn the step-by-stepprocedure for modeling and editing the reinforcement, as well as for arranging elements in the finaldrawing.

To use this documentation, follow these basic usage rules:

Any icon symbol - click the icon with the left mouse button.

{x} - select the x option from the dialog.

text- enter the underlined text on the command line of the program, and then press Enter.

LMC and RMC use the mouse buttons (Left Mouse Click and Right Mouse Click, respectively).

NOTE: The British code BS 8110 is used in this example.

To start AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement, click on the desktop (or click Start menu> AutoCAD Structural Detailing), and then select the Reinforcement module. The software will includeoptions (such as an extended menu, an additional toolbars, tabs and the Object Inspector dialog) formaking reinforcement drawings.
