Free AutoCAD floor plan and architectural symbols (DWG): doors and windows in plan and elevation, walls, furniture, floor and wall finishes, electrical, fire safety

Architectural plan symbols: 627 ready-made AutoCAD blocks (DWG), free to download and use in your own projects, as a ZIP or one symbol at a time.

627 architectural symbols as ready-to-use AutoCAD blocks at real size in millimetres: doors and windows in plan and in elevation, wall and partition constructions (brick, concrete, block, stud, glass, cavity, and new, existing and demolished walls), stairs, ramps and lifts, roof plans with ridges, hips, valleys, drains and solar arrays, sanitary fixtures, kitchen and laundry appliances, living, dining, bedroom and office furniture, everyday items such as rugs, lamps, plants, bins and curtains, school, shop and hospitality furniture, healthcare and fitness equipment, sockets, switches and luminaires, fire alarm and fire fighting equipment, exit signs, wheelchair and accessibility symbols, building services such as air conditioners, radiators, meters and drainage items, columns, beams, cores and footings, trees and vehicles, and the usual drawing marks and tags. Door and window numbers, sizes, materials, finishes and manufacturer data sit in attributes, so door, window and furniture schedules can be read straight from the drawings. Bathroom fixtures and kitchen units are also drawn in elevation, and there are stair and railing details: stairs and ramps in side view, balustrades and handrails. Furniture is drawn in detail, with cushions, pillows, place settings and bedside tables, and many pieces come in several sizes. Doors, windows, sanitary fixtures and kitchen units are drawn in detail too and come in several sizes, named in the block and prefilled in the attributes. Floor tiles and paving, wood floors and herringbone parquet, brick and block walls, cladding, wallpaper patterns and the usual materials in section (earth, gravel, concrete, timber, insulation, steel, glass) are ready as 1200 mm panels drawn with thin lines, with a finish code and the schedule data in attributes.

Attributes for parts lists

Every block has a visible tag next to the symbol (for example D01 for a door, W01 for a window, F01 for a piece of furniture). The data you put on a schedule are invisible attributes: WIDTH_MM, HEIGHT_MM, DOOR_TYPE, MATERIAL, FIRE_RATING and FINISH for doors; SILL_HEIGHT_MM, GLAZING and U_VALUE for windows; NUM_RISERS, RISER_MM and TREAD_MM for stairs; CIRCUIT, MOUNTING_HEIGHT_MM and RATING for sockets and switches; LUMENS and POWER_W for luminaires; ZONE, ADDRESS and NEXT_INSPECTION for fire safety devices; and DESCRIPTION, QTY, MANUFACTURER and MODEL for furniture and fixtures.

Drawing marks carry their values in visible attributes: the grid axis, the level, the room name, number and area, the section and sheet numbers.

How to use the library

  1. Unzip the file and open the DWG. Copy the symbols you need into your plan, or drag the blocks in from DesignCenter (ADCENTER).
  2. Insert the blocks at scale 1 in model space; they are drawn at real size in millimetres. The catalog in the file shows them at 1:100.
  3. A door is inserted at its hinge point on the wall centre line and a window at its left reveal. Use MIRROR or a different X scale for another hand or width, and record the real size in the attributes. Electrical, fire safety, accessibility and sign symbols are inserted at their centre, drawn at the size they have on a 1:100 plan.
  4. Drawing marks and tags are sized for 1:100 (text height 250 mm); scale them by your drawing scale. Double-click a block (or run EATTEDIT) to fill in the tag and the schedule data. Finish panels and material swatches are 1200 mm squares (1200 x 800 mm in section) with the insertion point at the lower-left corner; scale the block to the area you want to show and put the finish code in the tag.

About the drawing conventions

There is no single standard for architectural plan symbols: doors, windows, stairs and furniture are drawn in broadly similar ways, but details such as the swing arc, the window lines or the stair arrow differ between countries and offices.

These symbols are our own drawings after common architectural drafting conventions, and the library is not certified against any standard. Check them against your office or client drafting standard and change the blocks if yours differ.

Frequently asked questions

Are these symbols to a drawing standard?
No. There is no binding standard for architectural plan symbols. They follow common conventions and can be changed to match your office standard.
Which units are the blocks in?
Millimetres, at real size. Insert them at scale 1 in a model space that is in millimetres; if your drawing is in metres or inches, scale the blocks on insertion (0.001 or 0.03937).
Can I use the symbols in commercial projects?
Yes. They are free to use and modify in your own projects, including commercial ones. They are provided as is, without warranty. Please do not redistribute or resell the library; see the library terms.
Can I change a symbol or add attributes?
Yes. Open the DWG, edit a block with BEDIT to change it or add attributes, and save. To update drawings that already contain the block, run ATTSYNC or replace the block. Make a backup first: attribute values can be lost if ATTSYNC is used carelessly.
Are the floor, wallpaper and material patterns hatches?
No, they are blocks made of thin lines. Insert one, scale it to the area you want to show and copy it to cover more (ARRAY), or use it as a legend sample next to your finish schedule. For large areas the hatch patterns of your CAD program are the better choice.
Should I download this library or one of the smaller topic libraries (furniture, doors and windows, bathroom and kitchen, stairs, walls and roofs)?
This one has everything in a single file. If you need only one topic, the topic library holds the same blocks in a smaller file, and the furniture library adds front elevations of the furniture.
Where do I find a ready-made set of these symbols for AutoCAD?
AutoCAD itself ships only a small set of sample blocks, so a full symbol set has to come from a library. Download the ZIP on this page and open the DWG: every symbol is a block. Insert one with INSERT (Blocks palette, Libraries tab, then pick the DWG) or drag it from DesignCenter (ADCENTER). You can also download a single symbol on its own.
