Founded in 1999, CBEN has grown into the largest community-based CAD block library on the web.
The content of CBEN and has been drawn & uploaded collaboratively by people from all around the world and is free for download
CBEN follows the wiki model , which means that anyone can add content to it.
Access to CBEN is free to all users & contributors alike.
We encourage community members to contribute to the libray by uploading a new drawing in exchange for a downloaded one.
As in all wiki natured projects, CBEN assumes good faith from the people who contribute to the project.
Part of CBEN's success is that it is open to all users and contributors alike.
When we review contribututions, we judge intent more than the content itself.
If someone took the time to create a drawing and contribute it, we assume that it has been done in good faith.
Sometimes, well-meaning people make mistakes eg. uploading to wrong categories,
non-useful file descriptions, academic r. files, un-purged dwg's, files marked copyrighted, and even doodle drawings.
We do our best to judge the intent of the contributor and moderate CBEN accordingly.
Upon review, careful attention is given to whether uploads made are beneficial,
detrimental but well intended, or outright vandalism, and moderate accordingly.
Feel free to browse,download and/or upload to the The CAD Block Exchange Network.
Enjoy.
