What, if any, guidelines are there for the posting of blocks here at the CADforum?  Thanks. John Connor2011-02-07 14:22:14

As per the disclaimer at the bottom of the blocks page:[quote]CAD blocks can be downloaded and used for your own personal or company
design use only. Any distribution of the Catalog content (to other
catalogs, web download, CD/DVD media, etc.) is prohibited - see Terms of use. The DWG-version problem (not valid file, invalid file, drawing not
valid, cannot open) can be solved by the Tip 2869.
[/quote]In the terms of use you'll find the info (I believe) you're looking for.Along those lines, I would assume that as long as the block is "yours" (meaning, not proprietary, or not owned by a company that has created/copyrighted the block for their purposes) then it would be ok to upload.

It's not the downloading of blocks I was concerned about but thanks.  I thought maybe there was some standard CADforum wanted members to follow when creating a block for uploading to the site.  But I get the impression just about anything goes.  Thanks again.

Yes, exactly - see also the help pop-up under the orange-white question mark in the CAD Blocks section. There are both technical and legal guidelines.

[QUOTE=John Connor]I thought maybe there was some standard CADforum wanted members to follow when creating a block for uploading to the site.  [/QUOTE]There is. If you take a second to skim the terms of use, you'll see the paragraph that starts with: "To add
a new block". The last paragraph (of that section) pretty much states exactly what I said before:[QUOTE]Publishing
a block should not violate copyright of any third party. On uploading
of your block you agree with publishing of the block on the CADforum web
service and utilizing your block by visitors of CADforum in their
designs.[/QUOTE]HAWDesigner2011-02-07 19:07:56

The block I had in mind was created by "yours truly".  It is a 3D block of a level probe.
