Bricsys has released Bricscad V11 for Windows. The level of .dwg compatibility, together with the availability of more than 160 third-party applications, makes Bricscad an alternative CAD solution.
Bricscad V11 includes support for editing dynamic blocks. Dynamic blocks can be inserted from existing Dynamic Blocks Libraries—properties and constraints can be adjusted in the Properties Bar. PDF files can be used as an underlay and Bricscad V11 enables snapping to the geometry of the PDF entities. Bricscad V11 also has a Layer Preview allowing the content of each layer displays in the Preview pane.
The graphical user interface is now enhanced with support for new style Grips, Dynamic Input and Dynamic Dimensions.
Bricscad V11 Pro uses the Redway3D rendering engine, allowing rendering in permanent mode. Lights and materials can be defined in the Drawing Explorer.
"With Bricscad V11 we continue to add value for our hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. Thanks to the wide acceptance of our API's in the application community we can offer now an unmatched range of functionality in all the main disciplines of engineering", says Erik De Keyser, CEO of Bricsys. "Our focus is the balance between compatibility, performance and price."
Bricscad V11 Classic for Linux is on its way and will be released within a couple of weeks, according to the comapny. It will contain all the same new features as the Bricscad V11 Classic for Windows version. eBridge will also be available for Bricscad V11 for Linux users.
