Features

High compatibility with AutoCAD®
No need to change printers, templates, blocks, or sheet sets—everything works seamlessly. Command names, aliases, and system variables match AutoCAD®.

AutoLISP and API support
BricsCAD® Pro supports AutoLISP for automating repetitive tasks and offers a rich API for creating custom, industry-specific applications.

The Quad: drawing, editing, and info near the cursor
This predictive command palette uses machine learning to recommend the right tools based on your workflow.

Automatically align copied entities
COPYGUIDED uses guide curves to align copied entities automatically—either chosen by the user or detected from drawing elements.

Parametric blocks
Create a single 2D or 3D parametric block to replace multiple variations. Use familiar tools and workflows to simplify and automate modeling.

Point cloud visualization
Optimized data representation allows faster viewing of point clouds, using up to 50% less disk space than the original files.

Civil engineering foundation
Includes tools and data connectivity essential for building civil engineering project workflows.

High-performance graphics engine
Each release of BricsCAD® improves performance for smoother, faster 2D/3D visualization.

PDF and BigTIFF underlays
A multi-resolution persistent image cache enables fast zooming/panning of PDF underlays. The raster engine supports large BigTIFF files with ease.
