Using CADrebar
CADrebar is an AutoCAD application, which provides the fastest route to concrete detail drawing production and scheduling. Compatible with AutoCAD 200x and SteelPAC and providing one of the shortest learning curves around (competent in one hour), it provides detailing to BS 4466 and BS 8666 with full support for custom shape 99's. CADrebar uses the following menus and toolbars. CADrebar Pull-down menu

Getting started
The following movie shows the steps for creating a multiple range of single bars. On attempting to place the first bar range in a new drawing CADrebar will first ask you to define the BS code to which you are working and the scale & units (see Setting detailing Code). The latter are used to size the text etc. automatically. This information is then stored in the drawing, you will not be prompted for it again. Bar ranges are quick and easy to place with CADrebar; the following drawings show the pick points for each of the three range types. Don't worry about memorising these, as CADrebar will prompt you for each point when required. The following graphics show the point sequence needed to place CADrebar typical bar ranges

After the bar range is drawn you have the opportunity to modify the bar via the CADrebar Edit Bar Details dialog. CADrebar also utilises its own grouping facility making it easier for you to copy whole bar ranges.
Setting detailing Code

On starting a Bar Range in a new drawing, CADreabr will display the following dialog Bar Ranges.
The options available are: Detailing Code: Base Plotting Scale: and Drawing Units: e.g. BS4466, SABS82 or BS8666. Some of CADrebar drawing routines size their symbols and text based on the plotting scale and units, which you set here.
Note: To adjust the scale and units mid-session use the Change Scale command from the tools menu. Change Scale

File Locations
CADrebar has the concept of logical locations to find its files. The following is a description of the most commonly used locations: <Current Dwg Dir>: <Project Dwg Root>: This is the directory where the current drawing is (e.g. C:\JobNumber\acad\RC). This is where the file ProjectSettings.txt is located, typically on the ACAD or DRAWINGS directory (e.g. C:\JobNumber\acad). If ProjectSettings.txt is not found, it is assumed that the current drawing is not part of a project. This is defined as <Project Dwg Root>\Settings (e.g. C:\JobNumber\acad\Settings ). This where project specific configuration files or directories such as shape code 99 graphics files, project specific borders, etc. This is typically C:\Program Files\Oasys\DomainSettings and defines domain or group specific configuration files or directories such as shape code 99 graphics files (logos), group borders, etc. This is the preferred location to store customised and company settings. This subdirectory is not created/deleted by the installation so it is up to the user to create and maintain the files on it. This is the location where the current version of CADrebar has been installed. (e.g. C:\Program Files\Oasys\CADrebar). The location usually used in conjunction with a subdirectory, for example, CADrebar support files are in {Application Root} \Support (e.g. C:\ Program Files\Oasys\CADrebar\Support). This is defined as either BS4466 or BS8666.
<Project Dwg Settings>:
<Domain Settings>:
<Application Root>:
<BScode>:
Following is a Windows Explorer image to show a typical directory structure for a Project specific configuration:

The file ProjectSettings.txt is located at C:\JobNumber\acad. It is a text document and following is a sample:
// // Sample Project Settings File - copy this file // to the "Project Root" Folder of your job area and edit // to suit the project requirements. //
The double slash "//" indicates a comment in the file, CADrebar only uses this file as a reference to locate some project specific files. A project specific copy of CADrebar.ini should be placed on C:\JobNumber\acad\Settings\Rcdetailing, which will be read by CADrebar when a drawing from the RC directory is open in AutoCAD. Project specific files such as graphics shape code 99's (wmf) and they ini files should be placed on C:\JobNumber\acad\Settings\Rcdetailing\BS8666 or C:\JobNumber\acad\Settings\Rcdetailing\BS4466 depending on which code they belong.

Shape codes are selected from the left hand list. Images of each Shape code are shown in the top right corner. Specifies the type and grade of reinforcement for the bar, the supported options R, T, S, X & # are selected via the popup list. The # option uses American sizes in multiples of 1/8 of an inch. (this option does not automatically calculate the total length of the bar) Bar diameter is input by selecting the popup list and picking the required bar size. The bar mark offered as default is the next highest available on the drawing. It is advisable to accept the default unless you are an experienced user, although any number could be used. This is the alias for an AutoCAD layer on which the bar is detailed. You may enter a new reinforcement layer or select one from the list.(see Configuration). Spacing: Equally spaces bars by the given number of units. Use the up/down arrows to change the selected pitch in increments of 25mm. Number of Bars: Specifies a fixed number of bars for the range. Prompt: Prompts during insertion for either the pitch or number of bars needed in every range. Member Titles allow CADrebar to group bars by members that are scheduled together. You can type the member name or leave it blank so it can be automatically entered/modified by the Associate Member Title command. Controls the 'No. of mbrs' column in the output schedule. You can enter the number of members in the drawing or leave it set to its default value (1) to be automatically entered/modified by the Associate Member Title command.

Mesh
This command can be accessed from: Pull-down Toolbar Keyboard CADrebar | Mesh BAR_RANGES Not Available
Places standard or custom mesh in to a drawing in a similar way to placing a bar range. The Mesh command places a standard AutoCAD block with attributes. Upon insertion, AutoCAD will display the Edit Attribute dialogue. Only the first field "Mesh Label" will appear on the drawing. All other fields affect the scheduling of the mesh but are not displayed in the drawing.
The options available within the mesh dialog box are as follows:
Mesh Label: Member Title: The text you enter here will appear on the drawing. Member Titles allow CADrebar to group bars by members that are scheduled together. You may type the member name or leave it blank so it can be automatically entered/modified by the Associate Member Title command. These provides up to two lines of text to appear on the schedule. For example you could use these to describe the area covered and whether laps are include. This line requires two values separated by a space. The first value is the mesh code e.g. A193. The second is the area of mesh required e.g. 3000 Sq. meters. The filename (without the extension) of the image that will appear on the schedule when a custom or non-standard mesh is used. The graphic file must be created as a diagrammatic illustration of the make up & size of the fabric for the steel fabricators to

The options available within the Edit bar details dialog are as following:
Shape Code: The shape is displayed both as a scrolling list and as an image showing the shape code with dimensions and formula. To select another Shape Code, activate the scrolling list and pick the required Shape Code number. This will update the shape code slide, activate the relevant values for the Bar dimensions and calculate the total length if applicable. The dimensions correspond to those in the image. For entering multiple values see Varying bars. This is the displayed text of the bar range. You can edit this text but attention should be given to its format, use of the edit bar label button is recommended. Member Titles allow CADrebar to group bars by members that are scheduled together. Enter the member name or leave it blank so it can be automatically entered/modified by the Associate Member Title command. Member titles by default are ordered alphabetically within the schedule so to control their sequence, precede each one by a sequential number and a space e.g. "1 BEAM_A2", "2 BEAM_A3","3 SLAB_5". This value controls the 'No. of mbrs' column in the output schedule. Enter the number of members or leave it set to its default value so it can be automatically entered/modified by the Associate Member Title command. This field is automatically updated to show the total length of a bar in accordance with BS4466 and BS8666 once all the relevant bar dimensions are entered. If this field is active (can be edited) then the Total Length must be calculated and entered manually (see Shape Code 99's). The bar revision. Enter the relevant number or letter when a bar has been revised. Displays the file name of the selected 99 shape code. This field is automatically updated by the Shape 99 Button. When this option is selected and the OK button is selected, CADrebar will update all instances of this bar mark with the changes made in the dialog box. If you have changed the bar mark value, selecting this option will only update the selected bar mark.

The options available within the Bar Label Edit dialog box are:
Number: Type: Specifies the number of bars in the range. Specifies the type and grade of reinforcement, the supported options are R, T, S, X & # . The # option uses American sizes in multiples of 1/8 of an inch. (this option does not automatically calculate the total length of the bar) Specifies the bar diameter. Specifies the bar mark of the range. Note if the bar mark is changed then Update All Instances of this Bar Mark will not modify similar bar marks. Specifies the spacing or pitch. This field can be empty, have a single value e.g. 200 or have a varying bars range e.g. (a-h) (see Varying bars). Specifies the alias for a reinforcement layer. (see configuration) Any additional information displayed on the bar label.
Size: Mark: (a-?) Spacing: Layer: Comment:
The changes made in the previous dialog box are displayed in the bar label text and consequently in the drawing. Note: The format for the Bar Label is as following: Number space TypeSize space Mark space Spacing space Layer e.g. 12 T20 04 200 T The minimum Bar Label accepted by CADrebar is: Number space TypeSize space Mark e.g. 2 T20 04 When the OK button is selected the command will check the data and display warnings if errors are found. The following checks are performed when the detailing code BS8666 is used: Check the minimum bend length. Check the minimum length between two bends. Check the minimum length of a crank. Check the minimum offset dimension of a cranked bar. Check the minimum dimensions of a link (shape code 51). Check the minimum dimension of a semi-circular bend. Check the minimum radius of a non-standard bend. Check if bending angles exceed 45 degrees. CADrebar will check that the total length does not exceed 12m. This check applies to both BS4466 and BS8666.
Varying bars
CADrebar allows for each bending dimension of a bar range to be varied. Varying bars ranges or Tapered ranges are placed in the same way as standard ranges (see Bar ranges), the difference is the way that bending dimensions are shown. CADrebar allows to schedule varying bar ranges with an alphabetic or numeric suffix. (see Configuration). The suffix alphabetic or numeric is stored in the drawing and is set when the schedule code is selected (see setting schedule code). The suffix setting is read from the configuration file CADrebar.ini. The following dialog box shows how a varying bar range is set:
1/14/2014
Tools
Page 4 of 17
Note: The format for a bar dimension with linear variation is: StartEnd length or 1000,LINEAR,1700. For constant dimensions use a single value or 500,CONSTANT. In the example there are 8 bars, where dimension A varies from 1000 to 1700mm and dimension B does not vary. CADrebar will calculate the length of intermediate bars. Since there are 8 bars in the range the Bar Label must be edited to show the range of letters for the individual marks. The schedule will display each bar in the range i.e. 05a, 05b, 05c, etc. with individual bending dimensions data when an alphabetic suffix has been set for the drawing, if a numeric suffix is set the schedule will display each bar in the range i.e. 05.001, 05.002, 05.003, etc.
Note: Typical entries accepted by CADrebar for range and spacing are: (1-45)200 (a-nn) 150 200(1-45) 150 (a-nn) The maximum number of bars in a varying range that CADrebar can schedule when the suffix has been set to alphabetic is 104 which is a tapered ranges containing bar marks from 01a to 01zzzz (a-zzzz). So bar mark number 26 is = 01z, bar mark 27 is = 01aa, bar mark 28 is = 01bb and finally bar mark 104 = 01zzzz. The maximum number of bars in a varying range that CADrebar can schedule when the suffix has been set to numeric is 999 which is a tapered ranges containing bar marks from 01.001 to 01.999 (1-999). Upon scheduling (see Scheduling) the ranges (e.g. 1500-1800) are converted to individual dimensions and will be displayed as shown below when subsequently viewing the Edit Bar Details dialog:
1/14/2014

Page 5 of 17
Note: Each dimension used to calculate the bar length has a drop down list, which allows editing individual bars. Bar Dimension A is a1000 b1100 c1200 h1700 when alphabetic suffix is used 1_1000 2_1100 3_1200 ... 8_1700 when numeric suffix is used Bar Dimension B is a500 b500 c500 h500 when alphabetic suffix is used 1_500 2_500 3_500 ... 8_500 when numeric suffix is used Total Length is a1450 b1550 c1650 h2150 when alphabetic suffix is used 1_1450 2_1550 3_1650 ... 8_2150 when numeric suffix is used If you want a non-linear variation for this range, the values for each bar dimension must be calculated and input one by one using the drop down list.
Shape Code 99's

CADrebar can create custom bar types (shape code 99) and insert a corresponding range in the schedule. Images must be provided as Windows Meta File (WMF) named in the form s99-001.wmf. We have found Microsoft's Visio to be good for editing these files. In order for CADrebar to be able to calculate the total length of a bar using a shape code 99 a companion file s99-001.ini must be included with the wmf file (see Generate WMF's). Shape code 99's can be selected from the Select Shape 99 button on the Edit Bar Label dialog box. This button is activated when you set the Shape code to 99.

Within the dialog box there is a small diagram showing a representation of the selected Tick and Tag.
The options available within the Bars in section dialog box are as follows:
Tick and Tag list:
The name gives an indication of the type, usage and orientation of the tick and tag. Types are Tag, Leader1 and Leader2. Usage is Top, Bottom or Horizontal. Orientation can be Right or Left. There are three sizes to select from, small medium and large. You can type the bar mark value or alternately use the select bar mark button which allows you to select a bar label in order to extract its bar mark value, which is displayed in the opposite box.
Size: Select Bar Mark:
Note: The AutoCAD Snap mode is temporarily set to 'nearest' during insertion.

How to create a CADrebar schedule logo.

Start a new drawing (SampleLogo.dwg) in AutoCAD and create two points at 0,21 and 86,0 this points define an area where the logo legend will be placed.
1/14/2014
Tools
Page 16 of 17
Draw and write your logo legend avoid using true type fonts as the WMFOUT command does not output them very well and they will not display correctly in the schedule. Save drawing. Then in Notepad create a file SampleLogo-b.scr with the following lines:
;;;;;Start of file PDMODE 0 WMFBKGND OFF .tilemode 0 .pspace .erase all .mview 0,0 86.0,21.0 .zoom e .mspace .regen zoom window 0,0 86,21 zoom 0.99x wmfout "C:\Program Files\Oasys\DomainSettings\RcDetailing\g-Sample01-b.wmf" w 0,0 86,21 .tilemode 1 .PDMODE 35 ;;;;;End of file
Note: That the text within quotes points to the location where the wmf file will be saved therefore the subdirectory must exist also the blank lines are important. The name of the file must have a prefix g- (see File Locations) and a suffix -b or -w Save the script file. Now In AutoCAD from the menu select Tools then Run Script... and select the file SampleLogo-b.scr. When AutoCAD finishes you have created the C:\Program Files\Oasys\DomainSettings\RcDetailing\g-Sample01-b.wmf METAFILE. This logo will be used in the Bending Pages of the schedule (suffix -b). Now to create the logo used in the Weight schedule (suffix -w) just create a new logo (drawing) based in the previous one, remember to change the name (in the script file) to g-Sample01-w.wmf and produce the logo by running the script with the new drawing. Alternatively you could copy and rename g-Sample01-b.wmf to g-Sample01-w.wmf. To use these logos in CADrebar run the command to produce the schedule (see Output Schedule). At the dialog box select User Defined under Style Name. And under Logo Base Name type g-Sample01 (Note that there is not -b or -w on the name).
Total Length Formula

In order for CADrebar to calculate the total length of a shape 99, a formula file (.ini) must be created. Image and formula files must share the same name and have a corresponding wmf and ini extension e.g. s99-001.wmf and s99-001.ini. The format of the ini file is as follows: Lines preceded by a semicolon ';' are comments and are ignored. [FORMULA] is a keyword defining the section where the formula to calculate the length and the dimensions used by the shape code are defined. The LENGTH can be followed by any valid equation containing any combination of the following variables A, B, C, D, E, R, rad and dia. The equation can include the following mathematical functions: "sin", "cos", "tan", "asin", "acos", "atan", "exp", "log", "log10", "sqrt", "abs", "deg" and "rad". The constants "pi" and "e" can also be used. For South African Standard SABS82 the following variables bend = n and hook = h can also be used. The DIM_USED keyword is followed by allowable dimension identification letters. The free dimension is identified by placing it in brackets. The schedule program CADrebarViewer will place brackets around the free dimension. Sample ini file:
;s99-001.ini ;rad = Minimum radius for scheduling ;dia = Nominal size of bar [FORMULA] LENGTH = (A + B + D) + (0.57 * C) - (0.5 * rad) - (2.57 * dia) ;List of bending dimensions (upper case), with the free dimension in parentheses. DIMS_USED = A,B,C,(D)
These .ini files are stored in the same directory as the metafiles (.wmf) for ease of management.

Groups
CADrebar provides a set of functions for the creation and management of groups of entities in much the same way as AutoCAD groups or blocks, but without the necessity to name each group. The entities may be edited individually as well as together. With these functions the user can work with groups of entities yet be able to change any one. CADrebar automatically groups bar ranges, so under normal circumstances there is no need to use this feature, but they can easily be copied, moved, etc as one item. A group may contain any AutoCAD entity. Multiple groups can be created, but they may not intersect at common entities or be nested. In these cases, the most recent grouping will override any previous groupings.
Group Ungroup Remove group member Group selection ON Group selection OFF Tear off Toolbar. Selecting a group: When one object in a group is selected (picked) the entire group is selected. To remove a group from the selection set, hold down the SHIFT key as you select an object in a group. Note: Group selection works when the PICKFIRST system variable is set to 1. Single entity selection works when the PICKFIRST system variable is set to 0. Copying and Pasting with the Clipboard: A group or selection of groups and entities can be copied/pasted to/from the clipboard without ungrouping the entities. Pasted groups will not behave as a group until you 'Regen' or save the drawing. Move, copy and mirror groups: Select groups by selecting a group member, then enter or select the command to perform the desired action.

This command can be accessed from: Pull-down Toolbar Keyboard CADrebar | Group GROUPS OasysGroupMake
Groups selected objects so they can be edited as one item. You may either select your entities first and issue the command, or issue the command and follow the prompts to select entities. Note: Objects of previous groups are now part of the new group as objects are part of one group only. Objects can only be part of one group. If your selection includes objects that are part of a existing group, they will cease to members of their previous group.
Ungroup
This command can be accessed from: Pull-down Toolbar Keyboard CADrebar | Ungroup GROUPS OasysGroupDelete
Removes the grouping applied to the selected objects. You may either select your entities first and issue the command, or issue the command and follow the prompts to select entities. All entities in the group are affected.

Group selection ON
This command can be accessed from: Pull-down Toolbar Keyboard CADrebar | Group selection ON GROUPS OasysGroupActive
Enables groups functionality when it has been turned off. Note: On the CADrebar menu the item "Group Selection ON" is not available when this option is active.
Group selection OFF

This command can be accessed from: Pull-down Toolbar Keyboard CADrebar | Group selection OFF GROUPS OasysGroupNotActive
This command turns off the group functionality. Note: On the CADrebar menu the item "Group Selection OFF" is not available when this option is active. In most instances you will not have to turn groups off, as the group selection behaviour changes depending on the order in which you issue commands. For instance, if you want to copy all members of a group, select one entity ( the whole group will be highlighted) and the issue the command. If however you want to copy just one entity from that group, issue the 'copy' command first, and then select the entity. (CADrebar will not add other members of that group to the selection).

Schedule
CADrebar produces industry standard schedules of both bars and weights. It produces an SHD file of the schedule which can be printed with the freely distribute CADrebarViewer. SHD files are also compatible with Constructive Technologies 'SteelPAC' enabling contractors to easily manage procurement and change.
Output Schedule
Output Schedule
This command can be accessed from: Pull-down Toolbar Keyboard CADrebar | Output Schedule CADrebar OasysCrSchedule
Besides calculating the total length of each bar, CADrebar performs a number of checks on bar label attribute data. If an error is detected the offending label is marked with a circle and a message is displayed with a description of the error. Drawings detailed with BS8666 have the following additional checks: Check the minimum bend length. Check the minimum length between two bends. Check the minimum length of a crank. Check the minimum offset dimension of a cranked bar. Check the minimum dimensions of a link (shape code 51). Check the minimum dimension of a semi-circular bend. Check the minimum radius of a non-standard bend. Check if bending angles exceed 45 degrees. On executing the schedule command, the following dialog is displayed.
The options available within the Schedule Information dialog box are as follows:
Job Details: Defines the details that will be printed in the schedule, such as Job Number, Schedule Number, Job Title and Description.
Schedule Filename: By default, the schedule will have the same as the DWG but with an SHD extension. You may alternatively provide a different name. In both cases this is placed in <Current Dwg Dir>\scheds i.e. a new folder called 'scheds' located in your current drawing's folder. See File Locations. General Options: Erase all entities on marker layer first, will remove the circles marking any errors before checks are done. If the scheduling process detects any errors, new error

'User defined' allows you to set the other options within the style. Logo Base Name: The file name of the logo used on the schedule. see How to create a CADrebar schedule logo This is a wmf file and has a prefix letter that defines the location e.g. p-CADrebar. See File Locations Page No. Style: The style for page numbering. Revision: Selecting 'Schedule Max' will instruct CADrebar to use the maximum revision found in the Drawing, or you enter the revision to use. Start Page: The starting page number for the schedule.
Previous Revisions: In this option up to four previous revisions can be recorded. Creation: Allows you to record the creation and checking details for the schedule. Note: you can enter any text here the example shows both initials and date.
On selecting OK you will be prompted to select the labels to schedule or schedule all the labels in the drawing. Note: To produce a schedule in a text Comma Separated File (CSF), issue this command (OasysCrCSF) form the AutoCAD command line this will display a message box as well message in the command line, this needs to be done only once per drawing session, after drawing is open or prior generating the first schedule. The filename will have the extension CSF and will be located in the same folder as the schedule SHD file. <Current Dwg Dir>\scheds i.e. a folder called 'scheds'
located in your current drawing's folder. See File Locations.
CADrebarViewer
CADrebarViewer allows you to view and print the created schedule (SHD) files. You may freely distribute this application which comprises of two files (CADrebarViewer.exe and cvr#xxx.exe) which can be found in <Application Root>\Components folder. See File Locations. The following examples include a range with varying bars, a range with a shape code 99, a mesh and weight pages. The schedule can easily printed via any Windows System Printer.

Configuration
CADrebar uses a configuration file (CADrebar.ini) to obtain values for parameters such layers names, colours, sizes etc. The file format is organized in sections e.g. [Settings] and keywords with a value e.g. TEXTHT = 2.5. CADrebar uses these values to automatically place entities on layers and set default values. When bar ranges are created by CADrebar all entities are placed on the AutoCAD layer mapped to the keyword of the reinforcement layer in the CADrebar.ini file e.g. The T for top is mapped to the layer s099dx000. The bar label block reference and its leader line are located on the AutoCAD layer mapped to the keyword ending with @ e.g. T@ to s051bx00r. If a reinforcement layer used in the creation of a bar range is not included in the file CADrebar.ini or the file is not found CADrebar will default to the current layer. CADrebar searches for the file CADrebar.ini in the following locations and order: <Current Dwg Dir>, <Project Dwg Settings>\RcDetailing, <Domain Settings>\RcDetailing and <Application Root>\RcDetailing (for a description of each location, see File Locations). Following is a copy of CADrebar.ini, which is provided for your information.
