Steel Notes:

There are two available steel libraries in CADWorx PLANT, Steel_I and Steel_M.
Steel_I has imperial shapes (AICS) and Steel_M contains a number of other world
standards. Drawing units (inch or millimeter) are independent of the selected library
allowing any standard to be drawn in imperial or metric units.
The shapes used in the following exercise specify imperial shapes with metric
dimensions. Other standards may be substituted:

W12x65

W8x40

W6x15

C12x25

UC 200x60

acquaint the user with the placement and editing of structural shapes not structural
design.
