1. EXAMPLE OF APPLICATION OF THE AUTOCAD STRUCTURAL DETAILING - FORMWORK DRAWINGS PROGRAM: PROJECT OF A BUILDING
Use AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings for preparing a project of a building and the appropriate drawings (foundation plan, plans of stories, vertical sections through the building, formwork drawings of single structure elements). The drawing below shows a 3D view of a defined building.
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 press Enter. LMC and RMC - use the mouse buttons (Left Mouse Click and Right Mouse Click, respectively).
on the desktop (or click Start To start AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings, click menu > AutoCAD Structural Detailing), and then select the Formwork Drawings module. The software will include options (such as an extended menu, an additional toolbar, tabs and the Object Inspector dialog) for making structure model and drawings.

17. In a similar way, formwork drawings can be created for an arbitrary number of appropriate structure elements. 18. LMC Window in the main menu, and select the name of the initial file in AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings Returns to the initial file in AutoCAD Structural Detailing Formwork Drawings. NOTE: On the Positions tab in AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Formwork Drawings, positions are marked with the icon , which means that for a given position there is a formwork drawing created in AutoCAD Structural Detailing Reinforcement. Double-clicking this icon automatically runs AutoCAD Structural Detailing Reinforcement, and opens the formwork drawing of the given position.
1.6.2 Generation of reinforcement for elements

1. On the Positions tab of the Object Inspector dialog, select SF 1 in the tree 2. RMC SF 1, and click Automatic reinforcement Selects the structure element (spread footing) named SF 1.
Selecting this from the context menu lets you create automatically a reinforcement drawing for a selected element (position). The Formwork drawing wizard dialog displays. Indicates the drawing position.
3. In the left part of the Formwork drawing wizard dialog, LMC

7. Insert
Inserts a formwork drawing with reinforcement. You are prompted to specify the Position number. Accepts the number of the reinforcement position. The AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement macro appropriate for a chosen structure element type is launched. You are prompted to specify a second point. Determines the location of the AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement macro for a selected structure element type (a drawing of a spread footing with reinforcement) in the drawing.
8. Enter
9. LMC an insertion point of the macro

10. In a similar way, formwork drawings can be created for other structure elements.
NOTE: Reinforcement drawings cannot be created automatically for every structure element. To ensure that a given element can be reinforced automatically, it has to fulfill appropriate geometrical conditions included in the AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement macros.
