Description
Here the human outline is drawn in front elevation at 1:1, 25¾″ across and 63⅛″ tall (653 × 1604 mm).
Both versions, inches and millimeters, are DWG files that open in AutoCAD 2000 or newer; insert either one at scale 1 and it lands at its real size. Use cadgrid-basic-human-contour_in.dwg in drawings set up in inches and cadgrid-basic-human-contour_mm.dwg in drawings set up in millimeters.
For reference, CDC data put the average US man at about 5′-9″ (175 cm) and woman at 5′-3½″ (161 cm); this figure measures 63⅛″ (1604 mm) as drawn.
Working outside CAD? The same drawing also comes as a DXF for other CAD programs, a PDF for printing, a PNG with a transparent background for slides and mood boards and an SVG you can edit in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma.
Common questions
What size is the human outline drawn at?
It measures 25¾″ across and 63⅛″ tall (653 × 1604 mm) in front elevation, taken from the outer edges of the drawing. The page shows the same sizes in both units next to the drawing.
Do I need to scale the block when I insert it?
Both. cadgrid-basic-human-contour_in.dwg is drawn in inches (INSUNITS 1) and cadgrid-basic-human-contour_mm.dwg in millimeters (INSUNITS 4). Insert the one that matches your drawing at scale 1 and the block comes in at its real size.
How tall is the figure?
63⅛″ (1604 mm) from the floor to the highest point of the drawing. People blocks are drawn at real size, so they work as a scale reference in plans, elevations and sections.
Can I use this human outline outside AutoCAD?
Yes. Use the DXF in other CAD programs, the PNG with its transparent background in slides, documents and mood boards, the SVG to edit it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, and the PDF to print it or send it to someone without CAD.
