BricsCAD - Unifying 2D and 3D CAD

BricsCAD - Unifying 2D and 3D CAD
BricsCAD® is the powerful CAD software platform unifying 2D CAD and 3D
direct modeling for .dwg on Windows and Linux.

Highly compatible
Cloud connectivity
Enabling Third Party Applications
BricsCAD reads and writes the
dwg format and offers very high
compatibility with AutoCAD®.
In addition, BricsCAD offers 3D
direct modeling in native dwg.
BricsCAD, so much more than
an alternative.
BricsCAD integrates a smart
connection with the cloud-based
Chapoo Services, offering from
casual document sharing to
complete project collaboration.
The Chapoo connection tool
automatically recognizes xrefs.
BricsCAD is the most development
friendly CAD platform in the
industry. Thanks to industry
compatible API’s third party
solutions can run on BricsCAD
without modifying the source code.
With industry leading support and a compelling price, volume clients around
the world rely on BricsCAD

And of course, you can also open and work with AutoCAD® files.

3D Direct Modeling
UI Innovation
BricsCAD offers powerful tools for direct
solid modeling using our geometric
constraints solver. 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.
UI innovation includes the drawing
dashboard, providing centralized
management of all drawing meta-data
such as layers, styles, xrefs, etc. And
the intelligent Quad cursor, a patentspending BricsCAD innovation, offers the
most used commands right at the cursor,
reducing clicks to a minimum.

Assembly Modeling
Personalization
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.
The BricsCAD software can be extensively
customized and extended for the specific
requirements of a single user or a whole
firm. Support for the same programming
languages and APIs also makes it easy to
transfer existing add-ons to the BricsCAD
environment.
System
Multi Platform
The BricsCAD software is available
not only for the Microsoft® Windows®
operating system, but also for the Linux
and Macintosh* environment. Plus it also
exists in a 64-bit version and supports
multi-core systems.

release of the V14 life cycle.
2D - 3D Tools
Generative Drafting
3D Tools
Interface
V14
The Generative Drafting functionality allows users to
automatically create several associative 2D views of
a 3D solid model. All views are placed in a dedicated
paper space layout. Since each view represents the
actual state of the 3D model, all views are updated
instantly when the 3D model is modified.
Intelligent Quad
V14
The Quad is an alternative to grip-editing of entities,
offering a much richer set of editing operations while
requiring fewer clicks, without cluttering the screen
with loads of grip-glyphs. The Quad allows easy and fast
editing of 3D solids but also enhanced editing of 2D
entity types.
Sheet Metal
V14
Sheet metal design allows you to
model sheet metal parts and generate
their unfolded representations with
manufacturing information as a 3D solid
or 2D drawing in .dwg or .dxf format. With
BricsCAD you can create complex sheet
metal parts easily and rapidly.
BricsCAD editions
BricsCAD® V14 software is available in Classic, Pro and Platinum editions addressing needs
going from simple 2D drafting to complex 3D engineering, and now also including new
functionality for generating associative 2D and 3D views and sections from 3D models,
sheet metal design and an optional module for 3D data exchange.

BricsCAD Communicator
BricsCAD Communicator is an optional module to
the BricsCAD Pro and Platinum editions that provides
support for high quality 3D data exchange between
major CAD formats. It facilitates the import and export
of 3D CAD data including neutral (e.g. STEP and IGES),
native MCAD (e.g. CATIA, Inventor, SolidWorks) and kernel
specific formats.
