About ArchBlocks

The ArchBlocks products were developed by Saddleback CAD, Dana Point, California. I have been in the CAD Service industry for over 23 years , and I always felt that there was a need for current, more accurate, professional looking symbols in architectural CAD drawings. So I developed this CAD blocks library to help you create architectural drawings faster, that look more professional, and have more an artistic feeling to them.

To me, it just didn't seem right, you work with $3,000 software, and you see a kitchen plan where the range top is drawn as four circles and a rectangle. It looked like a child drew the range top! When we did our drawings by hand with pencils, we would never spend time detailing a range top, so we kept it simple for speed reasons. In the first years of CAD we wanted our symbols to be simple because the computers struggled with large drawing files, but now there’s no reason to keep drawings simple, except drawing time constraints. Now that computers work at incredible speeds, there's no reason why we can't have CAD blocks that have better detail and and that can add some creative beauty to our designs. The ArchBlocks CAD symbols now gives you this level of detail with no loss of production time.

Remember…

Our #1 goal is to save you time and money!

Our #2 goal is to help you get your work done faster, and look better!

We also want to make a difference in this great world of ours. Therefore, we are donating 5% of the profits from ArchBlocks.com to Kids Konnected for their cancer support programs for kids that have parents with cancer. The money we donate will go directly to help pay for summer camp for as many kids as we can. It is a wonderful experience for the kids to meet other kids that are struggling with cancer in their family.

In addition, we are donating 1% of our profits to the Surfrider Foundation, to help keep our oceans and beaches clean for many generations to come. We are all here to make this a better world to live in and we want to do our part.

Wishing you all the best,
