- Automatic configuration and customization transfer: In BricsCAD, all your standard configurations and custom apps still work (i.e., CTB/STB files, layer states, templates, utilities, etc.).
- No forced subscriptions, only flexible licensing: Enjoy a flexible CAD licensing model. Choose between perpetual licenses or subscriptions, network or standalone. You can also mix them to get an environment that makes sense for you.
- Instantly familiar to AutoCAD users: BricsCAD has full command, script, macro, and menu compatibility with AutoCAD 2022. Your current menus, scripts, and LISP routines will run directly with zero changes when you make the switch. You won’t have to change your standard printers, templates, blocks, or sheet sets. Use your muscle memory to get started and within an hour, you will be proficient!
- Intelligent CAD tools: BricsCAD isn’t just an AutoCAD alternative. It’s a rapidly evolving CAD software that incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to help improve your workflows.
