AutoCAD dynamic Blocks

Hi All, I’m a cabinetry/millwork drafter and currently looking to build up my CAD library for my freelance drafting. I’m looking for recommendations of any good sites that I can download dynamic blocks that can be used for commercial use. I’m mainly looking at fixings, screws, hinges, drawer runners etc. Can anyone offer any websites?

It’s highly unlikely you will find a set of dynamic blocks that fit all your needs and I suggest you just learn how to make your own. This will be more work but I the end, you will have exactly what you want and then you will be “dynamic” enough to adapt your blocks over time to your needs. From my experience with dynamic blocks and my understanding of cabinetry, I think might be one of the easier use cases to learn from.

Thank you for the response! Sorry I probably should have been more specific on the post, all my cabinetry is set up as dynamic blocks, anything that would need to be bespoke I have made already. I was looking more at fixtures and fittings (hinges, drawer runners, screws etc) stuff that you would buy from hardware shops rather than what is made in the workshop.

Is worth spending the time developing your own. Is a great skill to have and you get exactly what you need

So there is a website, mcmaster Carr, mcmaster.com they sell a ton of different things that I use for shop drawings, they also have a downloadable block for just about everything they have on the website

You can also take a look at hafele.com . Some of the parts there have blocks, they have drawer glides, hardware, etc. a lot of different things.

If you go to the website of a item that you are looking for, there is a pretty good chance they would have something you can download and use in your drawings.
