1. EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION OF THE AUTOCAD STRUCTURAL DETAILING REINFORCEMENT PROGRAM

Use AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement for preparing reinforcement drawings of typical Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures for a simple frame. In this example, you learn the step-by-step procedure for modeling and editing the reinforcement, as well as for arranging elements in the final drawing. 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 include options (such as an extended menu, an additional toolbars, tabs and the Object Inspector dialog) for making reinforcement drawings.
