Know AutoCAD LT
You already know BricsCAD Lite
BricsCAD is built entirely on the industry standard dwg format, with full command, script, macro and menu compatibility.
BricsCAD Lite feels like home!
Costs less than AutoCAD LT
Reads and writes DWGs
Faster than AutoCAD LT
Flexible licensing
Fully supports LISP
-
Compatible with AutoCAD LT
There’s no need to change your printers, templates, blocks or sheet set layouts to move to BricsCAD – they are 100% compatible. Command names, aliases, and system variables are the same in BricsCAD and AutoCAD®. BricsCAD is based on native DWG for the highest compatibility with other CAD users across all industries.
-
LISP Routines
BricsCAD Lite fully supports LISP, slashing the time it takes to do repetitive drafting tasks. It's compatible with AutoCAD® AutoLISP format, making it simple to re-use existing routines. It also features a powerful API, providing a platform for many industry-specific independent applications.
-
Use your AutoCAD Blocks
Blockify automatically creates a block definition and replaces all matching sets of entities with block references throughout your entire drawing. You can reduce DWG file size up to 90% by using Blockify to find repetitive geometry and convert it into block references.
-
Drawing Explorer
The Drawing Explorer centralizes in BricsCAD what in other CAD platforms amounts to as many separate dialog boxes. Easy to navigate, easy to search.
-
The Quad
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 most likely need next. It’s powered by an A.I. agent that makes those command predictions, based on how you use BricsCAD.
-
Adaptive Grid Snapping
BricsCAD’s dynamic snap grid changes to reflect your zoom level. The adaptive grid snap feature lets you create, edit, nudge and manipulate entities using precise values without the need for keyboard entry. The snap step size adapts based on the current screen zoom factor.
Comprehensive Feature Set.
From simple schematics to office floorplans to complex dimensioned production drawings.
BricsCAD Lite is a powerful tool every designer/drafter and technical professional will appreciate.

What BricsCAD Users Are Saying.
“Adapting to BricsCAD was really easy. Within one week, we had made a full migration to BricsCAD: as if we had never changed our CAD platform at all.”
“BricsCAD is very fast and very stable. One of the things that we like about BricsCAD is that we can work with very large files.”
