General description of the program

Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2015 facilitates the preparation of final drawings of component parts of designed structures. After completing the structure design and generating a structure calculation model (this stage comprises calculations and verification of structure elements), the project technical documentation with required final drawings are prepared.

Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement provides the tools to create detailed drawings of RC structure reinforcement. Included is a complete set of options for drawing details of an RC structure drawing, which are adjusted to the engineer-designer’s needs and make it possible to draw objects in an intuitive manner. The program is divided into a three parts as described below:

1. Edition of a drawing or part of a drawing (projections, intersections, etc.) - including additional drawing elements, correction of existing structure elements, adding structure element dimensions.
2. Generation of final drawings.
3. Printout management.

Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing combined with Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis provides the tools to create a complete structural project including:

• Generation of a structure model and structure calculations
• Structure design (e.g. calculation of reinforcement required in RC structure elements)
• Generation of final drawings allowing edition of prepared drawings.

The following objects have been distinguished in the program:

• View - a single drawing; it is always a document's component, if it has been added to a printout, it is simultaneously a printout's element.
  Note: Only a view (drawing) contained in a printout may be printed.
• Printout - ready-to-use printout composed of views; its equivalent in the AutoCAD^® program is a layout together with AutoCAD views provided on it; for each printout there is exactly one layout corresponding to it.

The following elements detail the different stages of work on a project.
