Performance of BricsCAD Across Market Features

BricsCAD Likes & Dislikes

Like

BricsCAD biggest drive is its cost compared to all the other CAD software packages available, even though BricsCAD is much cheaper this does not hinder its capabilities, its very easy to use and customizable to your needs. It has add on packages for Plant design and layout as well as piping design. BricsCAD accelerates your 2D and 3D design and drafting workflow.

Like

There is a seamless transition when migrating over to BricsCAD. It is highly customizable.

Like

DWG compatibility, customizable user interface with templates, performance and efficiency.

Dislike

BricsCAD is extremely customisable, and this means it can take some time and experimentation to develop optimal workflows. It is not the fastest CAD software and does not manage very large files easily. The tool bar is very busy and can sometimes be very confusing for new users.

Dislike

There is little direct help for this program. There are a few bugs that cause the program to crash more often than the competitors.

Dislike

Limited third-party plugins, learning curve and occasional bugs.

    Great CAD Software with Less Cost

    5.0
    Nov 16, 2023
    We had to exploret the possibility of using BricsCAD when our CAD vendor changed their license scheme to the subscription, which imposed great buget pressure to our operation. I belive that BricsCAD is exchangable with our current product, at least for 2D Drafting, if not in all aspects. The user operation experience is almost same and most importantly it is server-pooled license, which is cost friendly.
