TRANSCRIPT
BricsCAD - Unifying 2D and 3D CADBricsCAD® is the powerful CAD software platform unifying 2D CAD and 3D
direct modeling for .dwg on Windows and Linux.
With industry leading support and a compelling price, volume clients around the world rely on BricsCAD
Highly compatible
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.
Cloud connectivity
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.
Enabling Third Party Applications
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.

Full function dwg CAD software with advanced 2D tools 3D Direct Modeling
The BricsCAD® software operates smoothly in mixed environments and users will
encounter a very recognizable interface allowing for smooth co-existence or easy
transitioning. The familiar UI includes consistent names for commands and variables, and
familiar keystrokes for shortcuts. Company standard templates, block libraries, linetypes
and fonts can be used. The software operates as expected, so no re-training is required.
And of course, you can also open and work with AutoCAD® files.
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.
Interface
UI Innovation
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 patents-pending BricsCAD innovation, offers the most used commands right at the cursor, reducing clicks to a minimum.
3D Tools
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.
Interface
Personalization
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.
3D Tools
Sheet Metal
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.
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.
(*) will be made available through an intermediate release of the V14 life cycle.
3D Tools
3D Direct Modeling
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.
Interface
Intelligent Quad
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.
2D - 3D Tools
Generative Drafting
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.

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.
Bricsys® is a global provider of dwg engineering design software brought to market under the BricsCAD® brand. Founded in 2002, Bricsys is a member of the Open Design Alliance. For additional information about Bricsys, visit www.bricsys.com.

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.
