Blocks and fields smart design in autocad. Blocks for AutoCAD. Blocks of people, furniture, trees, cars, landscaping elements and plumbing equipment. Result from taking the courses

Good day dear user software from the great Autodesk.

During the design process, standard objects are created that are subsequently used in many industries, thereby accelerating the design speed. But most designers do not want to share their work, because... it is their intellectual property. In general cases, this is correct, but among them there are those who make their contribution to this world and share their blocks, thereby freeing up more time for new work or for relaxation.

And so we have collected for you the juiciest selections from the Runet space, the database will be updated as soon as possible, so stay tuned for changes. You can also offer us your selections of blocks, thereby making life easier for many people.

Let the free distribution of block collections for AutoCAD begin!!

Dynamic blocks of rolled metal and other things.

We present to your attention the first archive - dynamic blocks of structural elements of various series. These are dynamic blocks of floor slabs, corrugated sheets, and foundations. The main pearl of this archive is the dynamic blocks of rolled metal according to STO ASChM-20-93. Download dynamic blocks you can follow the link below.

Composition of the block archive

Dynamic reinforcement mesh block

Next we have a very nimble and multifunctional assistant for reinforced concrete designers, this is a reinforcement mesh cutting block. In the block you can adjust the outlets, the diameters of the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement, and also mirror the location of the rods. You can download the block below.

Static blocks of trees and bushes

For registration landscape design We invite you to download a selection of blocks of shrubs and trees. It’s a pity that, unlike dynamic blocks, they are not so highly mobile, but they also help a lot in the design process.

Static blocks of people and cars.

Often when designing interiors and exteriors, for a better perception of the situation by the customer, it is necessary to place people and auxiliary objects, such as cars, on the drawings. Therefore, save yourself a gallery of blocks of people and vehicles.

Blocks of furniture and sanitary equipment

The main requirement for floor plans is the inclusion of bathrooms and restrooms. To quickly identify them, images of plumbing equipment are used. There is no point in drawing it every time. Therefore, save these blocks of plumbing equipment for AutoCAD. As well as blocks of the most commonly used furniture (beds, tables, cabinets).

Library of 3D furniture blocks and its 2D projections.

For those involved in visualization, this archive is a real find. Many 3D furniture blocks for AutoCAD are collected here, and for further correct design of design projects there are projections of this furniture onto plans.

Blocks for electricians.

As we know, the scope of AutoCAD is very wide. Therefore, it is used not only by designers in the construction field but also when designing electrical systems. And we have saved this archive for them. In it you will find blocks of analog and integrated circuits, as well as classic designations for the most common circuit elements (transistors, resistors, coils, etc.)

Do you use dynamic fields and blocks in your work? If not, then you can safely close AutoCAD and start drawing on paper, since the speed of creating a drawing will be approximately the same. The technology of fields and blocks allows you to simplify and speed up design several times.

Alexey Merkulov and Maxim Markevich have prepared for you a one-of-a-kind course dedicated to the use of dynamic blocks, fields and attributes, as well as their interaction with each other.

Blocks, fields and attributes are technologies that make AutoCAD the most user-friendly and flexible CAD tool on the market. Only the correct connection of these tools allows you to speed up your work as much as possible and minimize the risk of errors.

What are the main functions of blocks and fields:

Speed up design by inserting ready-made objects;
Interactive tables. Changing the corresponding values in the tables when changing the drawing;
Standardization of design, with the help of which all employees can work with a single library of blocks;
Accumulation and storage of all typical project elements.

What lessons are included in the video course program?

What are blocks and the principles of their operation. In order to successfully create the most complex blocks, you need to understand the logic of their operation. In this lesson you will learn what an entry and block definition are, and you will also see a clear relationship between extractions, attributes and blocks;
Subtleties of block definition. Basic ways to create blocks in one click;
Benefits of working with fields. Basic principles of calculating the area of premises in which fields are used and creating an interactive explication of premises;
Subtleties when working with blocks. Rules of good manners.

Alexey Merkulov’s video course “Blocks and Fields in AutoCAD” is designed for both experienced and novice users.

The Blocks and Fields course is a first-of-its-kind video course on the capabilities of dynamic blocks, as well as the interaction between blocks, attributes, and data retrieval. This is a professional video course dedicated to an in-depth study of the most powerful AutoCAD technologies such as dynamic blocks, attributes, fields and data extraction.

Result from completing the courses:

you will be able to solve complex problems using dynamic blocks;
learn how to use fields in practice;
you will create automatic specifications;
learn to link it all into a single working algorithm.
