Free AutoCAD entourage blocks (DWG): people, vehicles, trees and street furniture

About the drawing conventions

There is no standard for entourage: people, cars and trees are scale figures, and every office draws them in its own way.

These symbols are our own simple line drawings, not portraits of any make or species, and the library is not certified against any standard. Adjust the blocks to the look of your drawings.

Frequently asked questions

Which makes and models are the cars?

None in particular. The cars are generic body shapes (sedan, hatchback, estate, coupe, pickup and so on) at typical sizes, so they work in any project without looking like a specific brand.

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.

How do I make a planting schedule from the drawings?

Fill in the botanical name, height and spread of each tree in its attributes, then export the tree blocks of all drawings to Excel with BlockSync: one row per tree. Edit the data in Excel and write it back in one run, with preview and backup.

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.

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.
