This site wants to be “For Everything AutoCAD”. Includes AutoCAD blocks (version 2006) tutorials, LISP routines, shx fonts and hatches. There’s also a forum for discussion and, possibly trouble-shooting. Time will tell if this site strikes a chord with users or if it’ll die away like many others before it.

Arexline are distributing two free plugins for Archicad. rxDuplicator allows you to place copies of a selected element along any path, whether straight, curved or splined. rxAutoMaterials helps you create material parameters for GDL objects.

Testing the flickr photo album. How do I insert photos? Oh, this is fantastic!
Another enlightened (another Swedish) furniture manufacturer. Gives you the option to download ArchiCAD objects or AutoCAD blocks.

This is the most enlightened manufacturer I’ve come across so far. The interface is clean and friendly and the site easily serves both, the retail customer as well as the architect. Click on the English flag if you don’t know Swedish.

Quite a large collection of objects here.
Go to the Architects » CAD Data section of the site and, if you want to download the entire set, scroll down towards the bottom. Alternatively, you can look at each one individually.

About 23 objects as of date and the promise of more. They have an English page but with a lot less stuff on it. I don’t think a translation is needed though.

The site has been restructured and the previous link doesn’t work, so you’ll have to try this:

Applecore designs, quite immodestly I think, call this section of their site ArchiGOD. There is a short list of tips which they promise to update often.

Here’s some freeware that will make it easier to sort and find drawing files in Windows Explorer. DWGcolumn which can list files by the version of AutoCAD in which it was saved is extremely useful. The screenshots on the site make the use of each utility quite clear.
