Design & Simulation Software Guide 2025
In this Special Issue, Digital Engineering presents its second annual guide to design and simulation software vendors.
Leica Geosystems AG and Bricsys NV have announced that the latest release of Bricscad now supports the Leica DISTO D8 plug-in, formerly only running on AutoCAD.
The Leica DISTO D8 is a handheld laser measurement device equipped with a digital Pointfinder (4x zoom), 2.4-in. color display, 360° tilt sensor and Bluetooth technology.
"We are excited that our plug-in software is now supported by Bricscad V9,” said Markus Hammerer, program director at Leica Geosystems. “It allows a user to draw layouts for a room directly from our measurement device on the Bricscad software."
This way of working can help ensure that there are no measurements missing and that there are no errors by writing measurements down or by typing them into the computer.
