Still using an earlier version of BricsCAD? Now is the ideal time to upgrade and discover all the exciting improvements in BricsCAD V25. Users transitioning from BricsCAD V21 will benefit greatly from a range of new and enhanced features designed specifically to boost productivity and streamline workflows.
Since V21, we’ve consistently upgraded each BricsCAD edition, meeting the unique needs of engineers, manufacturers, surveyors, and designers.
Parametric Blocks – NEW & Unique to BricsCAD
Introduced after V21, Parametric Blocks provide a powerful alternative to Dynamic Blocks, suitable for both 2D and 3D applications. Define a block once, then reuse it effortlessly in various sizes, visibility states, and orientations.
MOVEGUIDED – NEW & Unique to BricsCAD
MOVEGUIDED greatly simplifies moving elements within designs. Select an object and relocate it to a similar context—BricsCAD automatically handles snapping, orientation, and geometry adjustments, filling gaps seamlessly and regenerating hatches perfectly.
SIMPLIFY – NEW
The SIMPLIFY command optimises your geometry by reducing unnecessary vertices in polylines and hatch boundaries, preserving shapes while improving performance.
OPTIMIZE – NEW
OPTIMIZE swiftly corrects common 2D drawing errors such as misaligned lines and gaps, ensuring precise connections. Adjust tolerances easily and preview changes live.
Performance – ENHANCED
BricsCAD V25 significantly boosts performance compared to V21, offering faster loading of large drawings, background XRef loading, and improved multi-threading capabilities.
Import/Export – ENHANCED
Enhanced import/export functions simplify file sharing, including improved support for exporting to 3D PDF, DGN, and PRC formats.
Animation – NEW
Animate exploded views with the new Animation Panel, enhancing your understanding of design functionality in realistic scenarios.
Sheet Metal – ENHANCED
Eight new and upgraded commands accelerate and simplify sheet metal workflows, increasing productivity.
2D Drafting – ENHANCED
Create 2D documentation with greater ease, including break-down views and efficient editing of proxy objects.
BOM Manager – ENHANCED
Enhanced BOM Manager provides greater flexibility for managing Bills of Materials (BOMs), featuring custom columns, advanced filtering, and parameter aggregation—ideal for repeated use in future projects.
BMINSERT – ENHANCED
Originally introduced in V21 for inserting sheet metal features, BMINSERT now includes Smart Insert mode, enhancing its functionality for pipe design.
CIVIL3DIMPORT – NEW
BricsCAD V25 enhances interoperability with Autodesk® Civil 3D, enabling users to import multiple civil entities from external Civil 3D drawings simultaneously.
GRADINGBALANCE – ENHANCED & Unique to BricsCAD
Exclusive to BricsCAD, GRADINGBALANCE calculates optimal building placement by balancing excavation and fill volumes efficiently, simplifying TIN grading.
Alignments – ENHANCED
Major enhancements to ESnaps allow civil designers to snap efficiently to endpoints, midpoints, nearest points, and perpendicular points on both horizontal and vertical alignments.
Corridors – ENHANCED
Enhanced corridor functionality supports comprehensive design of linear infrastructure such as roads, railways, retaining walls, and bridges.
Import – ENHANCED
Improved LandXML interoperability supports new alignment curves, including Spiral-Curve-Spiral combinations and parabolas.
Integration with Twinmotion – NEW
BricsCAD BIM integrates seamlessly with Twinmotion, enabling the creation of detailed and visually engaging renderings, panoramas, and videos directly from your BIM and CAD models.
Import from RVT – NEW
Easily import geometry from Autodesk® Revit®, facilitating smoother collaboration between platforms.
QUICKBUILDING – NEW & Unique to BricsCAD
Rapidly convert solid massing models into detailed conceptual BIM designs featuring walls, slabs, and spaces.
BIMIFY – NEW & Unique to BricsCAD
Automatically classify and assign spatial properties in BIM projects. BIMIFY analyses models, assigns attributes, and generates plan sections and elevations with minimal manual effort.
PROPAGATE – NEW & Unique to BricsCAD
Efficiently replicate design details throughout your BIM project, significantly reducing repetitive manual tasks.
AUTOMATCH – NEW & Unique to BricsCAD
Automate the matching and completion of BIM information across multiple entities, enhancing your overall workflow productivity.
