Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings simplifies the process of preparing formwork drawings (plans of arrangement of structural positions) of structure components. Using Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings, an engineer or designer can define a structure model, create drawings (sections, views, projections), create formwork drawings of single structure elements, prepare tables of material elements, and estimate costs of a structure.
The program may be used to:
- export elements of a structure model to Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement and generate required reinforcement
- prepare bids (quick modeling, cost estimation).
Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings combined with the program Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement lets you prepare a complete structure project and generate detailed drawings with the ability to edit prepared drawings.
Basic functions of Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings:
- defining a structure model
- creating formwork drawings (single structure elements, story plans, elevation views)
- exporting structure model elements to Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement
The following objects are singled out in the program:
- Structure model, structure model elements - detailed drawings are created for real structure elements (3D).
- Position - this is an object concerned with organization of structure model elements; identical elements in a structure are given an alpha-numeric designation.
- Document - a set of views of a position (any number of documents may be generated for each position). A document may be edited only in the edition layout; a document may be printed only after it is added to the printout layout.
- View - a single drawing, which is always a document component. If it has been added to a printout, it is a printout element also. Only a view (drawing) added to the printout layout may be printed.
- Printout - ready-to-use printout composed of views; its equivalent in the AutoCAD program is a layout together with AutoCAD views placed in it. For each printout, there is exactly one layout corresponding to it.
The listed elements are concerned with the stages of work on a project.
