Description

The door swing block is a plan view drawn to scale, 32¼″ × 32⅝″ (820 × 830 mm).

Pick the inch or the millimeter DWG: each one is drawn 1:1, has its base point at 0,0 and opens in AutoCAD 2000 and later. The file names say which is which: cadgrid-top-view-door-horizontal-section_in.dwg for inches and cadgrid-top-view-door-horizontal-section_mm.dwg for millimeters.

An accessible door gives at least 32″ (813 mm) of clear width, measured from the face of the open door to the stop. In plan it sits next to a person seen from above, about 20″ (510 mm) across the shoulders.

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 door swing drawn at?

It measures 32¼″ × 32⅝″ (820 × 830 mm) in plan view, 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?

No. cadgrid-top-view-door-horizontal-section_in.dwg is drawn in inches (INSUNITS 1) and cadgrid-top-view-door-horizontal-section_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 wide does an accessible door have to be?

The clear opening must be at least 32″ (813 mm), measured with the door open 90°. In practice that means a 36″ (914 mm) door leaf.

Can I use this door swing 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.
