But it's free, and native DWG and has a few signs that I haven't found elsewhere. Uses Arial font and sign borders are not really the same. cel to dgn, then in AutoCAD use DGNIMPORT.įlorida DOT has gone DWG and has a pretty good sign library as part of their Civil 3d state kit. Not as true looking. Updated link to FHWA Cell Libraries (microstation format): To get these into DWG, use Inkscape to open EPS file, save as DXF. Partial library of signs in EPS and PDF format (link has been stable for several years). Do this for each sign and save to individual dwg files for importing as a block or if you prefer create all blocks in one dwg file. After selecting the file and clicking open you can choosed the desired cell to import. Just be sure to change the file type at the bottom of the dialog to "All DGN Files (*.*)" otherwise it won't show up in the list. Once extracted each cell (named by mutcd code) can be imported into AutoCad using the command DGNIMPORT. The file is compressed format (Signs.zip) and contains the ustatoin cel library (Signs.cel). There appears to be quite a few standard signs in that library. For instance there is a link to a microstation cel library file on this web page: (Direct download link here: ). Searching the internet you can find many sources for files that can be used as a starting point.
When preparing signing plans using AutoCad my preference is blocks/dwgs vs graphic/image files. Our current practice is just copying & pasting from other drawings to get the job done. Putting together a complete library has been on my todo list for a while.Ĭreating your own from nothing will take more time but gives more control over standards and consistency.
