Bricsys NV has announced the release of Bricscad V11 Pro for Linux.
Bricscad V11 Pro for Linux adds the complete ACIS solid modeling engine, in addition to more and stronger 3D functions, according to the company. The SOLPROF command is added too, as well as the PC3 Editor, for editing Printer/ Plotter configurations.
The Pro release also adds the BRX API (application programming interface) to the Linux version. The API could be used to bring .dwg-based CAD and engineering applications to the Linux community. Developers now need only a single source code to compile for three platforms: Bricscad BRX for Windows, AutoCAD ARX, and now Bricscad BRX for Linux.
The BRX Linux SDK (software developer kit) is identical to the one for Windows except that it contains Linux-specific link libraries. More than 90% of Windows BRX functions are now available in BRX Linux, including the BModeler, hidden-line removal, and BRep APIs. BRX is expected to be fully completed in the coming months.
In addition to core BRX features, the BRX Linux SDK includes the Windows Platform Emulation Layer, which provides a set of Windows API functions under Linux.
