VidCAD Released for Bricscad V11

By DE Editors

Bricsys, the author of Bricscad, has announced that the VidCAD SQL Engineering suite of products is now available for Bricscad V11.

VidCAD SQL Engineering is software for designing and documenting complex cabling and electric equipment installations. When changing cable or equipment info in one drawing, all other drawings and facility data automatically update to reflect changes. All reports are generated inside VidCAD and can be exported to other software or a PDF writer.

The software creates cable labels including source and destination info of the equipment and the destination rack. For error checking, VidCAD SQL can run reports that search for equipment and cables that are not in the database.

“VidCAD has been developing exclusively on the AutoCAD platform for almost 25 years. We anticipated the process of porting VidCAD to work with Bricscad would take up to six months. However, the complete process of porting to Bricscad only took us three months, aided by the excellent support from the Bricscad staff,” says Walter Black, CTO of VidCAD LLC. “Given the state of the economy over the past year, our users need a high quality, lower cost CAD engine as an alternative to AutoCAD, and Bricscad is hands down the best option we can offer our users.”

VidCAD has been providing documentation automation software for over 24 years. VidCAD is the leading communications, engineering, design and documentation suite for broadcast, audio, A/V, telecommunications, security and command & control (C2) systems in 40 countries. Harnessing the power of Bricscad and Microsoft SQL, VidCAD has built the most powerful design and documentation suite available to give engineers an effective tool to keep projects on time, on budget and online.
