Free examination table CAD block in DWG

An examination table is the fixed point a medical exam room is built around — the clinician examines from one side, the patient mounts from the end, and the desk, basin and supply storage all relate to where the table sits. This page offers a free examination table CAD block in DWG, drawn at true millimetre size so you can place an exam table into a consulting or exam room and read the footprint and the access space a clinician and patient need around it. It is free for personal and commercial work, with no signup or attribution.
An exam table differs from a treatment couch in emphasis: it is built for active examination, often with a higher fixed or adjustable height, a paper-roll head end, and sometimes a step or stirrup detail. Drawing it to scale lets you reserve the examination side and the patient approach honestly against the rest of the room.
What the examination table block represents
The block stands in for a medical examination table seen from above and, where included, in elevation: the padded top on a base, with the head end usually identifiable and, on many tables, a step at the foot. In plan it shows the table outline, which is the footprint a clinician works around and the line a stool, supply cart and basin relate to.
A tidy block keeps the pad, the base and the step on separate layers so you can show a simple outline for a room-data sheet or a fuller table for a detailed exam-room layout. As a single block reference it inserts, rotates and copies as one object, which keeps repeated exam rooms consistent across a clinic.
Views and what is included
Exam-room planning is mostly plan-view work, and the plan footprint is what this block delivers — the table placed against a wall with examination access on the open side and a clear patient approach at the foot. Where the download includes an elevation, it supports a wall drawing showing the table height against the basin, the supply storage and any wall-mounted instruments such as a diagnostic set.
Keep the table on its own clinical-furniture layer so you can freeze it for a clean architectural plan and thaw it for the furnished exam room, and so it reads distinctly from the desk, the stool and the basin.
Typical sizing to design around
Use these as planning ranges. An examination table is roughly 1800–1950 mm long and 600–700 mm wide. Pad-top height is often higher than a treatment couch — commonly around 700–850 mm for fixed tables, or adjustable on a powered base — to suit examination. Many tables add a pull-out step at the foot, which extends the footprint when deployed.
The clearances govern the room. Allow a clear examination zone along at least one long side — commonly 700–1000 mm so the clinician can stand, work and reach instruments — plus a clear approach at the foot for the patient to step up. Where wheelchair access is needed, a larger clear transfer space is required; confirm against the relevant access guidance. The scaled block makes those zones a visual check.
How to insert and place the table
The block is full size in millimetres. Insert at scale 1 in a millimetre drawing, 0.001 in a metre drawing, or set INSUNITS to millimetres so AutoCAD rescales automatically. Run INSERT, pick the centre of the pad or the head-end midpoint as the insertion point, then rotate so the examination side faces into the room and the head sits toward the wall with the diagnostic instruments.
Move the table onto a clinical-furniture layer, then check the examination-side clearance and the patient approach at the foot, and place the clinician's stool, the supply cart and the basin around it. For a multi-room clinic, COPY the table to the same position relative to the door so every exam room is laid out consistently.
Where the examination table block is used
Examination table blocks belong in GP and physician exam rooms, outpatient and specialty clinics, urgent-care and minor-injury rooms, gynaecology and paediatric rooms, and student health and occupational-health suites. They pair with the clinician's desk, the medical wash basin, the supply storage and the broader medical library to build a complete exam-room layer.
Because the file is free and licence-clear, it suits concept clinic plans and feasibility studies where you need to test how many exam rooms a footprint supports. The same table block carries from an early space-test through to a coordinated room-data and equipment drawing without being redrawn.
Laying out the exam room
An exam room works when the examination zone, the consultation desk and the wet zone each have their place and the table is the anchor that the clinician moves around. Keep the table on a clinical layer with its working clearance shown, then position the desk, stool and basin so the clinician flows between writing, examining and washing without crossing the patient's approach.
If you attribute the table with a room reference, an equipment schedule can list table type and exam-room count straight from the drawing. When a room is settled, WBLOCK a table-plus-stool-plus-basin unit so the next exam room reuses a tested layout, including the examination-side clearance that makes the room genuinely workable.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is the examination table CAD block free for commercial use?+
Yes. It downloads free in DWG with no signup, no watermark and no attribution, and it is cleared for commercial clinic, exam-room and outpatient drawings.
What is the difference between an exam table and a patient couch?+
An examination table is built for active examination, often sitting higher with a paper-roll head and a foot step, while a treatment couch is lower and used for lying treatment. Their heights and access zones differ, so they suit different rooms.
What size is the examination table drawn at?+
It is drawn full size in millimetres, with a footprint of roughly 1800–1950 mm long by 600–700 mm wide and a pad-top height often around 700–850 mm. Confirm clearances against your access guidance.
How much examination space should I leave?+
As a planning rule, allow roughly 700–1000 mm along at least one long side for the clinician and a clear approach at the foot for the patient. More clear space is needed for wheelchair access.
