What is Bricscad?
Bricscad is a CAD package developed by Bricsys, a Belgium based global provider of
engineering 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, especially
if 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 who
creates or uses CAD drawings.
BricsCad provides unrivalled compatibility with Autodesk AutoCAD and is fully programmable
with hundreds of third-party solutions. Currently, more than 160 third party applications run on
Bricscad. Users who even have add-ons or self-developed API's on Autocad, continue to run the
same 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 among
the 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 equivalent
commands.
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 to
port their DWG based applications.
“BricsCAD - Your Unified CAD Solution.”
One Platform
With BricsCAD software one dwg-based CAD environment can take care of all your needs from
simple 2D drafting to advanced 3D direct modeling. No need to buy and learn new or companion
products, no need for annoying, time consuming conversions… just one unified CAD solution
addressing today’s needs and allowing you to move to the world of 3D direct modeling and editing at
your own pace and within your existing familiar environment.
Intelligent 3D
Today the BricsCAD solution already offers powerful tools for direct solid modeling using geometric
constraints solving. Direct modeling operations apply to all ACIS solid geometry, whether created in
BricsCAD or imported. Furthermore, a key feature of the BricsCAD direct editing capabilities is the
preservation of design intent, vastly simplifying the work on complex designs.
Future proof
V13 further extends the BricsCAD software with core functionality in the areas of BIM* for the AEC
market and mapping* for the GIS world, and also introduces the concept of assemblies for the technical
CAD market. This foundation of core functionality will be externalized through APIs to support the
BricsCAD partner community in the development of new value-added solutions. The visionary future,
as laid out in a compelling technology roadmap, details the plans to further develop the platform both
with advanced 2D tools as well as with 3D capabilities, allowing both existing and new users to grow
at their own pace from simple drafting all the way to full-fledged 3D CAD, all within one familiar
dwg-based environment.

Bricscad:
BricsCAD V13 software is available in Classic, Pro and Platinum editions addressing needs going from
simple 2D drafting to complex 3D engineering, and now also including BIM*, mapping* and assembly
functionality.
BricsCAD is the powerful CAD software platform unifying the familiar feature set of native dwg with
advanced 2D tools and intelligent 3D direct modeling on Windows and Linux, and this at a compelling
price. The user interface allows for modeling and designing with unmatched speed.
Advanced Functionality
The functionality provided by the BricsCAD software is not limited to the familiar feature set of dwg
CAD but extends beyond this in both features as well as user interface.
UI innovation includes advances such as the drawing dashboard, providing simple centralized anagement
of all drawing meta-data such as layers, styles, etc., and the Quad cursor, a BricsCAD-original interface
which reduces clicks to a minimum.
Features summary:
3D Drawing: Assembly modeling
Assembly modeling allows you to organize .dwg files in hierarchical structures of mechanical
components to model complex products. Assemble your products with both top-down and bottom-up
design and compose your assembly with ease with the powerful 3D constraints between faces and edges
of different mechanical components. Use existing geometry (including one imported from other CAD
systems) 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 maintain
visibility in complex assemblies by hiding components.
Kinematic analysis
Move or rotate parts of your model to solve real-time forward and inverse kinematic problems.
Bill of materials
Generate a top-level or bottom-level list of all mechanical components used in a drawing.
Dynamic UCS
With the dynamic UCS feature enabled, the coordinate system is aligned automatically with a face of a
solid when drawing entities. Faces highlight when moving the pointer while a drawing command is active
and the XY plane of the coordinate system aligns with the highlighted face. When the drawing command
finishes, the previous UCS is restored.
3D Direct Modeling in Rendered Mode with the Quad tool
BricsCAD Pro offers Direct Modeling in native .dwg - no conversion needed. With the 'Quad'-tool, which
reduces clicks to an absolute minimum, modeling in rendered mode is made easy.
2D and 3D constraint solving
BricsCAD offers powerful tools for direct solid modeling using geometric constraints solving. Solid
models can be modified by defining constraints between its elements. If there is a 3D constraint which
fixes the placement of faces or edges, this constraint will be preserved during your modeling operations. It
allows you to parametrize any feature of the 3D model.
Design Intent Recognition
For example, consider a model with a number of holes of the same radius. When the radius of a
cylindrical face is modified, other faces that share the same diameter are recognized and modified
automatically to keep the radii synchronized.
Powerful 3D Render Engine and Materials Editor
BricsCAD 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 connectivity
With Chapoo you can upload files and share them with friends and colleagues. They can view your files
in the cloud and annotate them to leave their comments; no downloading of the files or installation of any
software is required.
Dimensions: Dynamic input and dynamic dimensions
Dynamic Dimensions are available while creating /editing entities. When moving a grip point, all related
dimensions are displayed in real time and can be modified on the fly with Dynamic Input.
Associative dimensions
Dimensions are updated automatically when the geometry has changed. You can even dimension Model
Space 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 manager
In the Settings Dialog you can check or modify the current value of all settings. The settings can be
viewed alphabetically or categorized, grouping related settings in a tree view. The built-in search feature
lets you find settings quickly and intuitively.
Mline – Multiline
The Mline command creates multiple parallel lines. You can create and edit your own multiline styles in
the Drawing Explorer.
Attribute management
BATTMAN (Block Attribute Manager): this command allows you to edit all attribute properties and
settings in a block definition, then synchronize the changes in all block references.
Graphic device per viewport
This new feature allows you to print a multiple viewport layout of which each layout has a different
shademode applied: e.g. hidden lines removed, rendered, wireframe.
Sheetsets Manager
A sheet set is a collection of layouts from different drawing files. The Sheet Set manager lets you manage
existing sheets sets and create new ones from scratch or based on a template sheet. Sheet sets can be
published, printed and e‐transmitted.
Printing: Page setups
Using page setups you don't have to go through all the options on the Print dialog each time you want to
print your drawing. All settings can now be saved to a Page Setup, which can then be applied to a
paperspace layout. Page Setups are saved in the drawing and can be copied between drawings.
Publish improvements
It is now possible to reverse the order of the sheets in a sheet list and to move sheets up and down in the
list. A 'Publish in background' option is added.
Other features: Layer filters
Use expressions and layer properties to filter out sets of layers, and store filters for reuse. The current
layer filter optionally can be applied to the Layer combo in the Entity Properties toolbar.
Layer explorer
For layouts and paper space viewports, columns were added for ViewPort (VP) Color, VP Linetype, VP
Lineweight and VP Plot Style.
Block manager
Browse blocks in non-open drawings and insert them in the current drawing from the new Blocks panel in
the Drawing Explorer.
Reference editing
The Refedit tool allows you to edit the content of external references (Xrefs) and block inserts from
within the current drawing, which is referred to as in-place reference editing. RefEdit either works on a
portion of the reference which you edit or on the entire drawing or all entities in the block.
Commandline improvements:
When typing a command auto complete suggestions show in a small popup window. If the current entry
matches a single command, the command name is completed automatically.
Options in BricsCad
The #1 Alternative to Autocad, comes in three options at a fraction of the price!
1. Bricscad Classic (2D): Has more features than Autocad LT with the same interface.
2. Bricscad Professional (3D): This is equivalent to Autocad full version. All autocad options
are available, with many short commands which are very useful & easier than Autocad.
3. Bricscad Platinum: Besides having all features of Bricscad Professional version, it
includes parametric modeling as well. Used extensively by mechanical industries.
