This last few months has seen many new changes for the ArchBlocks.com website. One of those changes is that Saddleback CAD, creator of the ArchBlocks products, has joined the Autodesk Developers Network. Look for the Authorized Autodesk Developer logo under the left menu bar on all the site pages.

The first step in getting started in AutoCAD is to create a architectural project startup file that you use to start any new project drawings. The basic settings include setting the limits, setting the units, creating layers, drawing a border and titleblock, creating a company logo, creating dimension styles, creating text styles. Creating all this from scratch can be very time consuming.
Don’t waste time trying to figure out all the settings required to get a project/class drawing started in AutoCAD. The ArchBlocks architectural titleblocks can get you off to a good start immediately! The titleblock sets come in either Modelspace, or Paperspace.
Get started NOW!
