BricsCAD Lite is compatible with existing AutoCAD® workflows, allowing users to transition seamlessly and continue working with their existing customisations. The software also supports LISP routines, enabling the automation of repetitive tasks to improve efficiency.
Ideal for professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction, BricsCAD Lite delivers powerful 2D drafting capabilities at an affordable price.
BricsCAD Lite V25 is designed to optimise 2D drafting with enhanced efficiency and compatibility features for AutoCAD users, offering robust support for the DWG format, command compatibility, and familiar tools. Key features include new machine learning-driven commands that improve task automation, such as the BLOCKIFY tool, which identifies repeated geometry and converts it to blocks, reducing file size. The COPYGUIDED function enables precise alignment when copying entities, and the Drawing Explorer centralises drawing management for easier navigation across layers, blocks, and external references.
The latest update also introduces an enhanced Sheet Set Manager for improved collaboration, particularly useful in multi-user environments. Additionally, the Lite version includes the updated Quad cursor menu, offering predictive command options to speed up workflow and reduce manual input. Interoperability is bolstered by full LISP compatibility, so existing AutoCAD routines can be utilised, and custom automation can be developed efficiently.
