Dynamic Door Blocks. by CADDtools.com

AutoCAD Dynamic Door Block Pic

Here are some AutoCAD dynamic blocks of architectural aluminum doors in narrow stile, medium stile and wide stile configurations. Each door block has all three door stiles with four hardware configurations for each stile size. Each manufacturer's block comes with a single door block and pair door block. These dynamic door blocks are great for architects and glazing contractors or anyone who needs an accurate drawing of an architectural aluminum door.

They are simple to use:
See the demo showing how to use the dynamic door blocks. The demo demonstrates how to change door configurations from narrow stile to medium or wide stile. It also shows how to insert a single door or pair of doors and change the door opening sizes to accommodate the project size. On the single door block you can with one click change from a right hand door to a left hand door. Alternate top and bottom rails can be selected in each manufacturer's sizes.
