Floating Command Line - New for BricsCAD V20

BricsCAD V20 has had a facelift. Even the Command Line has a new look! In BricsCAD V20 the new-look command line is transparent and floats over your drawing.

How to unlock the new-look, floating Command Line:

  1. Make sure that the new floating frame is switched on.
    Starting with BricsCAD V20.2 the floating Command Line is switched on by default. If yours is not simply head over to the Settings dialog: Settings > Program options > Command line > Command line use new floating frame.
    Tick the box.Floating Command Line -Annotation-2020-03-24-080307-e1585044690746-585x495

  2. The next step is to make the Command line float. This is the same as making any other panel float. Left-click the ... and drag the mouse to reposition the Command Line.
    It's that simple!
