The new software offers cross-platform licensing, a familiar user interface, 3D direct and parametric modeling – all on native .dwg files. BricsCAD is, more than ever, a real choice.
Cross Platform License
As of BricsCAD v15, license keys are cross-platform. This means users can choose to run BricsCAD on a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer.
Cross platform keys also allow users to try BricsCAD on Mac extensively with their Windows key. BricsCAD offers an almost identical feature set on all three platforms.
Familiar User Interface
The BricsCAD interface immediately looks familiar to new users. It offers many of the powerful features they already know inside of a clean and consistent user experience. BricsCAD offers an almost identical feature set on all three platforms.
Thanks to the unique context-sensitive Quad cursor, designers are able to create technical drawings, 3D models, and layouts faster and more accurately. To navigate through drawings easily, v15 adds the distinguished ribbon interface and a Look From widget.
3D Direct Modeling in Native .dwg Format
Unlike most other CAD platforms, BricsCAD handles 3D direct modeling and parametric assemblies, and stores data natively in .dwg format. Users access components of 3D models that are organized hierarchically.
V15 create renderings more realistically, thanks to 600 new Redway materials included in BricsCAD.
Available Now, Free Download
The Mac version of BricsCAD v15 is available today. The free download provides a 30-day trial. Pricing starts at €410/$520 with the Standard edition. Other editions of BricsCAD offer additional solutions, such as for sheet metal design, BIM planning, and 3D data exchange.
