Structural Drafting
S 20 Border and Title Block
The student will set up and draw a standard border and title block for size "C" paper with the following parameters:
Title Block / Standard layers for Structural Discipline Revisions Block / Scale is 1 = 1
Bill of Materials
North Arrow
General Notes
Border C-7 and set limits to 23.60,16.66
S 21 Structural Shapes
Draw each structural steel shapes full size and save each shape as a separate drawing file. Draw the structural
Shapes on Layer “0”. Set the drawing UNITS to Architectural and the precision to 1/64”. Use the fraction values,
not the decimal values. Do not add the dimensions.
Prepare a size "C" drawing paper with the assigned border and title block. Begin a new drawing and insert the
Border and title block using a scale of 1” = 1”.
Insert each of the structural steel shapes using the scale factor for 1 1/2" = 1' 0".
Set the layer to S-ANNO-DIMS and the dimension style to EDD141-8 and add the required dimensions. Modify
The dimension style and set the units for fractions.
Depth (d)
Web Thickness (tw)
Flange Thickness (tf)
Flange Width (bf)
Shape Designation Title under each structural shape
Add the title for each structural steel shape under each shape using ¼” lettering.

For detailing purposes, use k(det)for the fillet radius (where the web joins the flange).
S-22 Simple Parts Plan #1
Draw a complete set of structural drawings for the assigned problem. Prepare a size "C" sheet of drawing paper using the assigned border and title block, bill of materials, and revisions block. Be sure to include North Arrow, Title, and General Notes.
Create the appropriate layers as needed for the structural details.
Do not use AutoCAD's default dimensioning parameters. Open the border and title block drawing file and create three dimension styles (PLAN, SHOP DRAWINGS, and DETAILS). In the Dimension pull-down menu select the Style option and create the three dimension styles.
