![]() BricsCAD is a faster, smarter, far more powerful CAD system than the one you’re using today, even in terms of basic 2D work (which most of us still do regularly). Just point the BricsCAD system to where they are on your servers, or copy them to the appropriate BricsCAD folder on your local machine - whichever works best for you. None of us want to lose that one LISP routine we’ve used for 15 years that saves us hours of work each week! In BricsCAD, all your standard configurations and custom apps still work (that includes CTB/STB files, layer states, templates, utilities, etc.). You’ve spent decades developing workflows, standards, tools, processes, and apps that make your daily work run smoothly and give you the output that you need. BricsCAD was designed from the ground up to keep the drafter, designer, and engineer productive with processes they already understand.Īutomatic Configuration and Customization Transfer While there may be a bit of work required on the CAD management end, even that’s only a matter of a few hours. Most users don’t require training of any type to work in BricsCAD - it’s that similar to what they already know. The interface, toolbars, commands, and even the keyboard shortcuts are nearly identical to the ones you’ve used for decades. One of the biggest fears people face when considering changing their CAD system is the downtime of staff learning an entirely new set of tools. This is a key feature of BricsCAD: You just open the project drawings you’re currently working on, without worry. The Open Design Alliance DWG format is the international standard for CAD files, so you never have to worry about compatibility issues or loss of data between systems, or how to collaborate with other firms. That means you can open a DWG file from your current CAD system, work on it in BricsCAD, save it, and open it in the previous CAD system with no conversions. Let’s get into some of the features in this system, and I’ll let you decide for yourself if it’s as good as I say.īricsCAD uses the Open Design Alliance DWG format as its native file type. That’s really the entire idea behind BricsCAD. ![]() ![]() OK, so if you’re still here, I think it’s safe to assume you’re interested in a better way of doing things, as long as it’s not going to have too dramatic an impact on your daily work. I promise there is one, if you’re willing to listen to the word “change” without running from the room in a screaming panic!īricsCAD may be a new CAD system for you, but before you start thinking that you’re getting some knockoff, or that you’ll have to start rebuilding your standards from scratch and retraining your staff at ridiculous expense, please bear with me and read through these bullet points:īricsCAD uses the same DWG file format you use todayīricsCAD’s commands, tools, and menus are identical to the ones you use todayīricsCAD will use all your current standards, customizations, and LISP routinesĪll your current plotting standards (line weights, color styles, etc.) work in BricsCADīricsCAD can be purchased as a perpetual (permanent!) licenseīricsCAD perpetual licenses cost far less than the annual CAD fee you pay nowīricsCAD offers network multiuser licenses with no named user requirementsīricsCAD has faster, more intelligent tools than you have in your current CAD system. We all know it, feel the frustration, and wish there was a better answer. Let me start out by saying that to anyone working in design or construction, it’s not really a surprise that there’s been a distinct lack of upgrades, and a dramatic uptick in prices, over the past decade for the most widely used CAD system. ![]() ![]() BricsCAD Offers Advanced Tools and a Familiar Feel at a Lower Cost 14 Nov, 2020 By: James Coppinger A BricsCAD Solution Partner explains why a switch from AutoCAD won’t disrupt the daily routines of drafters, designers, and engineers - and may even help them work faster. ![]()
