Finding CAD Blocks

Posted on 13:46 by Unknown
Are you looking for blocks in addition to those that come with AutoCAD?

I have just been sent in search of some Mechanical, Plumbing and Fire Protection blocks.
The first thing I’ll do is search some newgroups to find out where other CAD people go… some sites might be free, while others might charge.


If you’ve used any of these sites and have any opinions on the quality of their content, please post a comment.

search autodesk discussion groups for download free block
http://discussion.autodesk.com/search.jspa?numResults=25&source=forumlist%7C8&q=block+download+free&inputEntered=true&objID=c8

Or search AUGI for the same:
CADtoday

Ultra3D

ReplicaNation

CAD Block Exchange Network

A Gallery of 3D Art & 3D Textures

CADRegister

Thomas Register

AutoCADblocks

CADsymbols

TraceParts

Archivio Tecnico Grafico

PIRS Online

Design & Drafting

Computer Aided Design, Graphics web sites

abscissa 3D CAD Models

http://cadalog.com/

http://cben.net

of course, you might need a way to organize your blocks…

The Block Catalog Generator in ToolPac 7.0 will let you build a multi-page (layout) drawing ready to plot. http://www.dotsoft.com/toolpac.htm
-OR-
DotSoft's DwgBrowser 1.0 will prepare a html document that can be brought into word and printed. http://www.dotsoft.com/dwgbrowser.htm

Remember that you can also build a tool palette from a selection of blocks, from within the Design Center.
