BricsCAD Pro
BricsCAD Pro is ideal for 2D drafting as well as 3D Direct modeling and the use of third-party applications. Use the knowledge you already have with full command, script, macro and menu compatibility with the industry-standard CAD program.
BricsCAD Pro
2D and 3D CAD to solve design problems faster.
BricsCAD Pro is built entirely on the industry-standard DWG format with full command, script, macro, and menu compatibility. BricsCAD Pro helps you utilise skills you already have so it feels familiar and highly compatible with existing workflows.
BricsCAD Pro is the heart of the open BricsCAD design platform. It’s runtime eXtension (BRX) API enables you to develop your own bespoke apps, offering developers a powerful base on which to build great industry-specific solutions. BricsCAD also offers unique tools, many powered by machine learning techniques, to help you get work done faster, intelligently and efficiently - accelerating tasks that can take hours through manual methods.
BricsCAD Pro is highly compatible with AutoCAD. There’s no need to change your printers, templates, blocks or sheet set layouts to move to BricsCAD. Command names, aliases, and system variables are the same in BricsCAD and AutoCAD. Menu (.CUI, .CUIX) compatible, macro/script compatible, and support file (.PC3, .LIN, .PAT, .DWT, .SSM) compatible.
BricsCAD Pro fully supports LISP, and is compatible with AutoCAD’s AutoLISP format. Quickly develop customisations that can dramatically reduce the time spent on repetitive drafting tasks. It also features a powerful API, providing a platform for many industry-specific independent applications.
BricsCAD Third-Party App Store
BricsCAD Pro features access to the BricsCAD App Store, featuring over 400 specialised industry solutions across many disciplines, enabling you to get your work done easier, faster and more accurately.
Point-Cloud Visualisation
BricsCAD uses an improved data representation to speed up the performance of point cloud display, using half the disk space versus the point cloud source files. Point clouds in .ptx, .pts, .las and .rcp formats are pre-processed to our .vrm project file format in the background, on your machine. There is no productivity loss as you can continue working during the caching process.
Civil Engineering Foundation
Civil design capabilities in the BricsCAD platform provide a solid basis for civil engineering, with a set of fundamental but powerful design tools and data connectivity for specialist app developers to create high value workflows for users.
High Performance Graphics Engine
Enjoy smooth zoom and pan operations in drawings containing hundreds of thousands of entities. BricsCAD uses the Redway3D graphics system to deliver great display performance for 3D graphics.
PDF and Big TIFF Underlays
Using a multi-resolution, persistent image cache to display PDF underlays enables super-fast zoom and pan operations. BricsCAD’s raster engine delivers great pan and zoom performance, even with enormous 64-bit BigTIFF files.
What's New in BricsCAD Pro
In product Tutorials
BricsCAD now includes a new series of in-product tutorials to help users learn about the unique and powerful features of the software.
TABLEs: SmartCell copy
BricsCAD includes new SmartCell Copy functionality to simplify the creation and editing of data tables in your drawings.
QUICKCALC
The QUICKCALC panel makes it simple to perform math calculations directly inside of BricsCAD, with support for parameters and formulas.
QDIM (Quick Dimensioning)
QDIM helps you create linear dimensions by simply selecting the objects that you want to annotate.
ANNOMONITOR
The ANNOMONITOR system setting allows you to flag disassociated annotative dimensions, regardless of the style of the dimension entities.
Point clouds - added the Hexagon Point Cloud Classifier (PCC)
BricsCAD includes the Hexagon intelligent Point Cloud Classifier (PCC). This technology helps detect found objects inside of point cloud data.

Parametric Blocks
Parametric blocks automate repetitive tasks by allowing users to create one block instead of lots of similar, separate block definitions. You can create both 2D and 3D block definitions using the same set of tools and workflow that you are familiar with.
The Quad: drawing, editing, and information near the cursor
BricsCAD’s unique Quad is a “head-up” command palette that predicts your command usage and offers one-click access to the command you’ll likely need next. Powered by machine learning, the Quad predicts the commands you will need, based on the unique way you use BricsCAD.
Automatically align copied entities
COPYGUIDED automatically aligns copied entities to relevant geometry using automatically generated guide curves. You can explicitly select entities to use as guide curves or let BricsCAD determine them based on the drawing elements in your selection.
Autoconstrain 2D or 3D drawing elements
When creating parametric 2D or 3D drawing elements, BricsCAD enables you to intelligently and automatically apply parameters and constraints with just one click, applying geometric control quickly and easily for fast design changes and reuse.
Blockify
This unique tool automatically converts repetitive sets of 2D or 3D drawing geometry to block definitions, instantly ensuring cleaner, higher-performing and better organised drawings.
Optimise drawing quality
OPTIMIZE corrects your drawing issues by automatically finding and healing inconsistancies such as gaps and misalignments which may otherwise be difficult to see, improving drawing accuracy and giving you a cleaner, more efficient result.
