man99 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Greeting everyone, I recently finished studying AutoCad tools and options. I am a civil engineer and I will be glad if someone provide me with exercises on civil or architect drawings . Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikekmx Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks Dana and waiting for extra exercises you did that one in 3 mins? perhaps draw the building you live in, rather than duplicate an existing drawing (that has had the real work done for you).

No my dear , I do not mean I do the last exercise but I just collect it to exercises which I already have and thanks very much for you wonderful tip .

ReMark Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Search in the Student Questions forum for the Oleson Village project. I'm pretty sure someone has attached the 054039.pdf for this particular civil engineering exercise. It involves laying out about a half dozen roads, a small subdivision, curbs, sidewalks, parking strips, and a number of trees some of which will be designated as to be removed while others will remain. That should give you something to do for a while. Note that it is all done using imperial units which is why I asked my earlier question regarding where you were located. If you are used to metric units you might have a bit of trouble although it is still entirely doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 :oops: I am sorry that made you look, unsuccessfully, for an appropriate smiley face to show consternation, but I was just looking for some indication you might have done some legwork. I personally feel that following well constructed tutorials that are relevant to the CAD areas you are interested in is more help than merely copying another drawing. You can successfully manually copy something in AutoCad, and still not have any idea whether you have used proper and efficient methods to arrive at the finished product.

Thanks a lot for the axplanation , now I am trying to find some examples to the reinforced concrete icons for various concrete elements .

ReMark Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 What do you mean reinforced concrete icons? I'm not even sure you know what you are talking about. Are you looking for blocks? If so be specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The image is kind of small but my guess is that it is of a concrete retaining wall. Is that correct? I doubt you'll find anything standard about its construction other than the fact it uses rebar and may sit on a bed of gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We don't seem to be making much progress here. Have you started any drawings yet of any kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekmx Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 remember, AutoCAD just draws lines where you tell it to draw them. it doesn't design stuff for you. (sometimes it doesn't draw them where you are trying to tell it, but that's for another thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
