What is Bricscad? Bricscad is a CAD package developed by Bricsys, a Belgium based global provider ofengineering software through its network of 70 offices on four continents. It is the no. 1 and the most robust alternative to Autocad, which also works on the .dwg format.Bricscad uses the Open Design Alliance DWG libraries to read and write the DWG file format.This allows Bricscad to be highly compatible to Autocad. Bricscad has a very simple user interface, which does not require any special training, especiallyif the users are accustomed to Autocad. Users of Autocad have been able to adapt to Bricscad,within days. Files previously designed using Autocad, can be easily opened and worked on instantly. Autocad users can also open Bricscad files, and work on it seamlessly. BricsCad is the smart choice for engineers, architects, designers - virtually any professional whocreates or uses CAD drawings. BricsCad provides unrivalled compatibility with Autodesk AutoCAD and is fully programmablewith hundreds of third-party solutions. Currently, more than 160 third party applications run onBricscad. Users who even have add-ons or self-developed API's on Autocad, continue to run thesame on Bricscad, without any modifications and have not faced any problems. Bricscad is designed for both Windows & LINUX, with a Mac version expected soon. It is amongthe few CAD packages which run on Linux. Bricscad implements the AutoLISP scripting language, VBA and BRX. The software is capable of most AutoCAD release functions. Bricscad transparently maps AutoCAD command line commands to Bricscad equivalentcommands. Thanks to the extended list of compatible API's (Application programming interface) available(LISP, SDS, COM, BRX), Bricscad is now chosen by hundreds of application developers toport their DWG based applications.

Bricscad:BricsCAD V13 software is available in Classic, Pro and Platinum editions addressing needs going fromsimple 2D drafting to complex 3D engineering, and now also including BIM*, mapping* and assemblyfunctionality.BricsCAD is the powerful CAD software platform unifying the familiar feature set of native dwg withadvanced 2D tools and intelligent 3D direct modeling on Windows and Linux, and this at a compellingprice. The user interface allows for modeling and designing with unmatched speed.Advanced FunctionalityThe functionality provided by the BricsCAD software is not limited to the familiar feature set of dwgCAD but extends beyond this in both features as well as user interface.UI innovation includes advances such as the drawing dashboard, providing simple centralized anagementof all drawing meta-data such as layers, styles, etc., and the Quad cursor, a BricsCAD-original interfacewhich reduces clicks to a minimum.

Features summary:3D Drawing: Assembly modelingAssembly modeling allows you to organize .dwg files in hierarchical structures of mechanicalcomponents to model complex products. Assemble your products with both top-down and bottom-updesign and compose your assembly with ease with the powerful 3D constraints between faces and edgesof different mechanical components. Use existing geometry (including one imported from other CADsystems) to form mechanical components or browse trough thousands of standard X-Hardware parts(screws, nuts, bearings, .). View the component hierarchy with the mechanical browser and maintainvisibility in complex assemblies by hiding components.Kinematic analysisMove or rotate parts of your model to solve real-time forward and inverse kinematic problems.

Bill of materialsGenerate a top-level or bottom-level list of all mechanical components used in a drawing.Dynamic UCSWith the dynamic UCS feature enabled, the coordinate system is aligned automatically with a face of asolid when drawing entities. Faces highlight when moving the pointer while a drawing command is activeand the XY plane of the coordinate system aligns with the highlighted face. When the drawing commandfinishes, the previous UCS is restored.

3D Direct Modeling in Rendered Mode with the Quad toolBricsCAD Pro offers Direct Modeling in native .dwg - no conversion needed. With the 'Quad'-tool, whichreduces clicks to an absolute minimum, modeling in rendered mode is made easy.2D and 3D constraint solvingBricsCAD offers powerful tools for direct solid modeling using geometric constraints solving. Solidmodels can be modified by defining constraints between its elements. If there is a 3D constraint whichfixes the placement of faces or edges, this constraint will be preserved during your modeling operations. Itallows you to parametrize any feature of the 3D model.Design Intent RecognitionFor example, consider a model with a number of holes of the same radius. When the radius of acylindrical face is modified, other faces that share the same diameter are recognized and modifiedautomatically to keep the radii synchronized.

Powerful 3D Render Engine and Materials EditorBricsCAD has an extremely powerful rendering engine allowing you to work in permanent render mode.Materials and lights can be created and edited in the Materials section of the Drawing Explorer.Cloud: Chapoo connectivityWith Chapoo you can upload files and share them with friends and colleagues. They can view your filesin the cloud and annotate them to leave their comments; no downloading of the files or installation of anysoftware is required.Dimensions: Dynamic input and dynamic dimensionsDynamic Dimensions are available while creating /editing entities. When moving a grip point, all relateddimensions are displayed in real time and can be modified on the fly with Dynamic Input.

Associative dimensionsDimensions are updated automatically when the geometry has changed. You can even dimension ModelSpace entities in Paper Space and see them being updated when you modify the entities in Model Space.Dimensions can now be linked to entity snap points such as endpoints, midpoints and perpendicular.Interface: Settings managerIn the Settings Dialog you can check or modify the current value of all settings. The settings can beviewed alphabetically or categorized, grouping related settings in a tree view. The built-in search featurelets you find settings quickly and intuitively.Mline – MultilineThe Mline command creates multiple parallel lines. You can create and edit your own multiline styles inthe Drawing Explorer.

Attribute managementBATTMAN (Block Attribute Manager): this command allows you to edit all attribute properties andsettings in a block definition, then synchronize the changes in all block references.Graphic device per viewportThis new feature allows you to print a multiple viewport layout of which each layout has a differentshademode applied: e.g. hidden lines removed, rendered, wireframe.Sheetsets ManagerA sheet set is a collection of layouts from different drawing files. The Sheet Set manager lets you manageexisting sheets sets and create new ones from scratch or based on a template sheet. Sheet sets can bepublished, printed and e‐transmitted.

Printing: Page setupsUsing page setups you don't have to go through all the options on the Print dialog each time you want toprint your drawing. All settings can now be saved to a Page Setup, which can then be applied to apaperspace layout. Page Setups are saved in the drawing and can be copied between drawings.Publish improvementsIt is now possible to reverse the order of the sheets in a sheet list and to move sheets up and down in thelist. A 'Publish in background' option is added.
