I like a lot of features of Brics CAD. Some of the most notable features are, works well in Windows and dosn't freeze up. Similiarity to ACAD helps. The cost. Imports and exports well. Works in DWG format. Highly Configurable. ETC ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few things that could use some changes. The snapshot function produces a specialized file format. The "Start" screen is not easily configurable. Mostly minor complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two things actually: First, I can use my existing DWG-files from many years ago with no hassle. Second I can do Mechanical and BIM with the same CAD software.

The interface is familiar (although I haven't worked with AutoCAD for two years now) and I can use the command line for the most frequently used functions, the Quad (I am still discovering what else I can do with the Quad) or the ribbon, depending on the situation.

It is nothing I dislike, but it would be nice if BricsCAD would run as smoothly on Linux as it does on Windows. However, I am aware the bottleneck is the Linux graphic driver and there is probably little Bricsys can do about this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BricsCAD is cost-effective. It has all the functionality you want. It is easy to customise. All settings and options are available in a single location. The forums are full of helpful people and feature requests and bug reporting is a priority for the developers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing that isn't intrinsic to all CAD to dislike. If I had to pick something, it is the autosave making my machine stutter. But that is still the lesser of 2 evils. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BricsCAD has all the commands and workflows I'm used to from AutoCAD. Several improvements are welcomed as well including the quad menu, the menu docking options, and the drawing browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features lack options. The purge function is lacking a graphical ui. It is tricky to etransmit multiple dwgs. I would like to see more customization with ribbon sizing and layout as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has all the features I used to use in AutoCAD but at a fraction of the cost. I used to be sceptical and think it wouldn't be as good, but it's every bit as good and in some respects better, even the user interface is near identical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a regular glitch for menu loading and I have to do this manually each time it stops working correctly. This is a very minor gripe though and doesn't detract from it being a great piece of CAD software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is very easy to understand if you know the basics of Autocad and for any trouble of question the customer service is very fast and responsive. The software is not particularly heavy for the PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even with a good customer service, some issues are, in the end, set as "will be solved with future updates", and there is no feedback on it if it happens. Would be nice to know it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sheetmetal functions make it very simple to do similar things I used to do as a tradesperson.

CAD 2D & 3D functions are similar or sometimes even better than previous programs used.

BricsCAD pricing is the best I know of by far especially If you would only want to pay one time.

Visually is easy to know what you're looking at

Updates that actually bring new functions that are very usefull Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes sheet metal will develop errors which can be very tricky to resolve or avoid (would be good if when something is sheet metal it is permanently able to be unfolded so the error isn't able to be made rather than find it later and have to manually fix it when the repair doesn't work)

The lack of Dynamic blocks used previously is slightly annoying but in saying that I have less use for them now due to other software. They could still be useful, or if parametric could do some things I used to do.

Random crashes. while they have gotten a lot better. You still need to be very vigilant with saving even smaller jobs. I have lost a bit of time (In saying that I haven't dealt with support available to my fault.)

There is always an odd thing that I know should work but doesn't eg I have done a smart split on 2 corners but they don't work on the other 2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Does what you expect it to, works with all the CAD filetypes and can import GPS files (just like competitors). Integrates with a number of helpful plugins, that we use often. Pricing is a lot better than competitors though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is slower than competing softwares (AutoCAD) for example, and printing can be irritating sometimes. Also, shortcuts and commands are not always straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BricsCAD is a very user-friendly program, that offers more speed on day-to-day tasks with CAD software, a better user interface for plotting, system and layout management, and a good user experience for 2D and 3D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BrisCAD doesn't support the creation of Dynamic Blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty much a seamless alternative to Autocad products. We are using the 2D Drafting and Mechanical Design packages, with rendering add-ons. Unlike some other alternatives, we have tried, BricsCAD is a stable system with excellent technical support. Our local reseller also offered an extended trial period when the original proved too short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike, some minor differences between BricsCAD and Autocad, but soon get used to that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
