Benefits overview
Bricscad V8 is well on its way to conquer a prominent spot on the CAD market. Since its introduction last July, it has evolved at stellar speed. Bricscad V8 has been empowered with 11 new features and has 76 improvements.
Having choices
Bricsys is firmly committed to make Bricscad V8 the standard for those people who don’t want to be locked in, but prefer to have a free choice, …
Brand new Graphical User Interface
The new Graphical User Interface allows well experienced DWG users to start Bricscad V8 and just continue their job without loss of productivity. No need for training courses to convert draft persons from one system to another.
It's worth making the switch
Finally it is worth making the switch and continue with the best DWG alternative, securing your CAD future. As a founding member of the Open Design Alliance, Bricsys - the author of Bricscad V8 - secures compatibility with the most recent DWG version today and into the future.
