BricsCAD® V26 is here
New capabilities to accelerate the design-to-production process
General design innovations
Look From widget
Navigation tool to easily select the desired position on the cube and dynamically reposition a preset view.
Notification message dialog box
Consistent notifications, offering a simple, clear pop-up for in-product warnings and updates.
Customizations for Settings dialog box
Intuitive, easy process to configure and personalize BricsCAD through the Settings dialog box.
Adjusted color contrast in UI
Interface text and graphics in BricsCAD now offer better visibility.
Log in process for analytics authentication
Uniformed log in for simplified browser authentication and consistency across tools.
Display scaling and accuracy
Text, panels, and dialogs now scale more accurately, with increased support for fractional scaling and diverse monitor setups.
Streamlined workspace selection
A new launcher to easily find the workspace you need and get started quickly.
Importing and creating files
Dynamic Block creation
Create Dynamic Blocks within BricsCAD (available only for users outside the United States).
Flatshot through command line
Create 2D block representation of 3D solid geometry based on current view, through the command line or in unattended script (-FLATSHOT).
Patches to fix open model faces
Repair open boundaries of surfaces with continuity control to create solids from mesh data (SURFPATCH).
Dynamic input using x-axis
Consistency within commands for simplified keyboard input, making design work easy.
Drawing Explorer block search
Quickly find and manage blocks in large drawings, making it easy to identify which blocks are being used and reused.
3D solid manipulation control grips
Adjust the size and form of primitive solids and polysolids with 3D manipulation grips for fast freeform editing.
Block creation from section plane
Generate a 2D section block from a section plane of a 3D model, either through the command line or in unattended script
(-SECTIONPLANETOBLOCK).
Preview for rotation and scaling of solids
Added user feedback when scaling or rotating solid bodies, making the commands predictable in the graphics window.
Geometric properties of 3D solids
Quickly edit geometric properties of 3D solids through the properties panel with dynamic feedback.
Dynamic Block editing
Edit parameters and actions of Dynamic Blocks to ensure seamless workflow compatibility in a mixed block environment (available only for users outside the United States).
Fillet and chamfer for all component edges
Fillet or chamfer can be applied to all edges of a selected 3D solid in single click when solid option is selected.
Centralized point cloud management
Import, edit, and manage point clouds with thumbnails and search for quick dataset access.
Advanced settings for geographic location
Geographic Location dialog box offers now offers a simplified user experience.
Methods for font mapping
New criteria for font substitution introduced for default.fmp and fontalt.fmp files.
Faster geometry selection with Quick Select
Added functionality to QSELECT command. Select multiple entities when defining the filter.
Drawing units through command line
Change the drawing units and related settings, like insertion scale and precision, through the command line
(-DWGUNITS).
Reverse vertices of selected geometry
Reverse the direction of lines, polylines, splines, and helixes, making it easier to read text where directionality matters.
Geographic Location through command line
Sets or updates the geographic location of the drawing when running through the command line or in unattended script (-GEO/-GEOGRAPHICLOCATION).
Insert menu standardized for block types
Unified user interface for insertion of all block types in BricsCAD, simplifying the user experience.
Command preview visibility
Determines whether a preview for TRIM and EXTEND commands is shown and can be enabled or disabled by the user.
Optimizing and editing
Interference detection
Intuitive UI to apply filters, query data, and manage results. Inspect and delete interferences by isolating them in model space.
2D Geometric constraint symbol grouping
Group symbols to boost performance and clarity in complex drawings.
Section plane accuracy and control
Increased precision when sectioning models with adjustable grips. Change the section type and depth from the properties panel.
Outline for Render mode
Highlight the outer shape of point clouds with the new Outline filter for clearer visualization.
Modifications to Attributes
Attribute positions, orientations, and property changes are automatically synchronized when related parameters are modified.
Blockify in Create Block Definition dialog box
Run Blockify within the Create Block Definition dialog box. Create new block definitions and check for exisiting blocks available for reuse.
Detailing and annotating
Slice section view
View a sliced section of a 3D model within a specified boundary with editable thickness and offset position.
View Base model generation
Continue working while generating additional drawing views.
Section view plane visibility
Ability to toggle on and off the display section planes within 3D model view based on section type.
Geometry measure for 2D and 3D
Measure 2D and 3D distances, radii, angles, areas, and volumes (MEASUREGEOM). Results appear in command prompt and dynamic tooltip.
3D section grips for advanced visual controls
Easier to dynamically manipulate section cuts through 3D solids.
2D polyline tracing on point clouds
Easily trace polylines over point clouds with one click per segment for fast, accurate linework (POINTCLOUDTRACE).
Temporary ortho mode for MLeader
New functionality added to MLEADER command. Add temporary ortho alignment (press and hold Shift key) for easier leader placement.
