Do you know a website where i can find 2d symbols, other than the ones already bundled into the archicad library? (vehicle symbols, north-arrows, etc.) ?

i am interested in an exact link... i know i can search google...but this will save me a lot of time

thank you

You have to invest time at least.

Check Depository.

Check the Tips&Tricks forum, a lot of links are there.


Enjoy

Also - your quality mileage may vary with this tip - if you have symbols in existing AutCAD dwg files - or create a dwg containing only the 2D Autocad symbols you are interested in...and those symbols exist as autocad 'blocks' - then you can convert them to GDL library objects in one step via the command:

File > Libraries and Objects > Import Blocks from DXF/DWG

You will be asked to browse to a folder and/or make one. All of the converted objects will be created in the indicated location.
