Course Description:

This hands-on course is designed to develop the skills needed to produce professional structural shop drawings using AutoCAD and AutoRebar. Aimed at engineers, draftsmen, and students, it focuses on translating structural design into clear and code-compliant reinforcement drawings for reinforced concrete elements.

Participants will learn how to set up drawing templates, draw structural elements like beams, slabs, columns, and footings, and apply rebar details using AutoRebar tools. The course also covers best practices in annotations, bar schedules, and drawing coordination to ensure clear communication and construction-ready deliverables.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to create full sets of shop drawings with accurate reinforcement details, ready for on-site execution.
