Drawing each and every steel shape you need for your structural layouts is a waste of valuable time. With a click of the mouse, this comprehensive structural steel shapes library will insert a cross section of the shape you need. All you do is make your choice from the pull-down menu.
It's easy to use:
This library can be easily loaded into AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT's menu bar for quick access. Full instructions are included. There's no need to browse through folders every time you need to insert a steel shape. It's user-friendly interface allows you to simply point and click to choose from a wide range of steel shapes.
How it works:
Once loaded in AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT, "Steel Library" will appear in the menu bar.
Step 1: Choose the steel shape you need from the pull-down menu.
.

.
Step 2: Insert the steel shape block in your layout and rotate into position.

Details about the blocks:
This library was created using the dimensions you'll find in the "AISC Manual of Steel Construction, Load ? Resistance Factor Design Volume 1, Second Edition". Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but in some instances fillet dimensions are not defined in this version of the AISC Manual and were taken from older versions of the manual. It is recommended that if these dimensions are critical, reference should be made to the certified dimension sheet obtainable from the steel shape manufacturer.
You'll be able to select from a wide range of steel shapes, each drawn at a scale of 1:1 and on layer zero with "Byblock" attributes. Once inserted, simply rotate the shape into position and it will be to scale and will take on the characteristics of your current layer settings. The Byblock attribute allows you to override your current layer's settings, giving you the ability to change the color or linetype of the symbol without exploding it.
Crosshatching is not included with the blocks because it is usually on a separate layer and color.  The insertion point of each shape is at a midpoint common to each particular steel shape.
An additional bonus:
All of the steel shape blocks are drawn as closed polylines or regions.  If you're creating a 3D steel layout, all you have to do is insert the shape you need, explode it, and then extrude it.
