The latest version of Bricsys’ flagship CAD software has arrived: BricsCAD® V26. With more than 60 new features and enhancements, this release is all about working smarter, not harder. Whether you’re already using BricsCAD® or considering a switch from traditional CAD tools, V26 offers compelling reasons to upgrade.
Bricsys claims users can achieve up to 25 percent faster design workflows thanks to performance optimisations, automation and smarter tools. Here is what makes this version such a game changer.
Speed is one of V26’s biggest strengths. Whether you’re working with massive DWG libraries or running complex routines, BricsCAD® V26 keeps things moving
• Open large drawing sets 2.7 times faster
• Execute LISP routines 2.8 times faster
• Handle complex models more efficiently with optimised multithreading
• Generate drawing views in the background while continuing your work
The result? Less time waiting, more time designing.
BricsCAD® V26 builds on its intelligent toolset to help you automate repetitive tasks
• Blockify detects and converts repeated geometry into blocks
• Auto Parametrise transforms 3D geometry into fully constrained parametric models in one click
• The Quad cursor now adapts more accurately to your workflow, surfacing the right tools at the right time
These enhancements do not just speed up tasks. They reduce the mental load so you can focus on design, not menus.
Whether you’re creating 2D construction drawings or 3D mechanical models, BricsCAD® V26 improves core drafting tools
• Dynamic Blocks can now be authored directly in BricsCAD®* which is a major boost for reusable content
• Apply fillets or chamfers to all edges of a 3D solid in a single command
• New section view tools make creating and editing cutaways simpler
• Additional command line tools (DWGUNITS, FLATSHOT, SECTIONPLANETOBLOCK) streamline automation and batch workflows
*Note: Dynamic Block authoring is currently available only outside the UK and US.
BricsCAD® V26 also delivers powerful updates for civil and survey professionals
• A dedicated Point Cloud Manager simplifies working with scan data
• Automatically generate civil sections and profiles from 3D surfaces
• Auto map survey points based on coded descriptions
• Easily apply GIS style data labels directly in your drawings
These updates help streamline workflows from field to finish.
It is not just marketing hype. Early adopters of BricsCAD® V26 report
• Up to 25 percent reduction in modelling time
• 60 percent increase in productivity across teams
With faster execution, smarter design tools and a lower cost of ownership than some competitors, BricsCAD® V26 is a powerful upgrade for CAD professionals.
