Part Design

BricsCAD Mechanical design platform

BricsCAD’s unique variational 3D modelling approach gives you the freedom to design how you want to, from concept to detail, with whatever level of parametric control you need.

Quickly develop complex components on their own, or directly within an assembly.

Sheet Metal Design

Create sheet metal part designs that are resilient and deeply editable

Not only does BricsCAD Mechanical let you create sheet metal components from scratch, but you can also convert solid parts to sheet metal, automatically, with just one click.

This robust approach lets you spend more time evolving your design and less time worrying about redefining sheet metal features.

Assembly Design

Build potentially complex assemblies and subassemblies using components designed in-house or by others.

Bottom-up and top-down Assembly Design

BricsCAD Mechanical users can create complex hierarchies of parts and sub-assemblies using bottom-up or top-down design methods.

You can import assemblies from different CAD systems using Communicator for BricsCAD, including Parametric geometry defined in those assemblies.

 
  • Highly compatible with AutoCAD® 2022

    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.

  • AutoLISP and API support

    BricsCAD 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.

Familiar and Compatible CAD

BricsCAD Mechanical is fully based on the industry standard dwg format, with full command, script, macro and menu compatibility.

BricsCAD feels like home!
