Prohibition Sign CAD Blocks — 42 Pictograms

About this block

Forty-two circular prohibition signs sit in a seven-by-six grid, each a double ring with a diagonal bar across a line-drawn pictogram. Filming, mobile phones, photography and flash fill the first row; food, drink, ice cream, alcohol and under-threes the second; bags, prams, bicycles, roller skates, trolleys, parking and post the third; then animals, swimming, open fires, fishing and lorries; then footwear and smoking in its several forms; and finally noise, scissors, flowers, pedestrians and a plain arrow.

Signs like these belong on a signage schedule, a wayfinding drawing or a museum, pool, retail and transport interior where behaviour has to be posted at the door. They are outline drawings rather than filled discs, which suits line-only plotting; if you need the standard red ring and bar, put the outer circles and the diagonal on a red layer and let the pictogram stay black. Each sign occupies an identical square, so a row copies cleanly at fixed spacing.

Open the file and it looks empty of detail: model space holds two objects, one insert and one text. The entire sheet is nested inside a single block containing 26 further definitions, so explode that insert once before you try to select anything. After the first explode each sign is still a block of its own, which is what you want — copy it out, rename it something readable, and set the base point at the centre of the outer ring so it lands on a grid.
