BricsCAD Has New US Home Website

The US-based BricsCAD team has informed Architosh that the company has a new home in the United States CAD market where, along with several other rival DWG-native CAD programs, is aiming at clipping away at Autodesk’s massive AutoCAD marketshare.

This is a consistent storyline with all the DWG-native offerings, of which there are several very strong and growing companies, including Bricssys, Graebert of Germany, Dassault Systemes with DraftSight (an ARES OEM licensee), and US-based IMSI-Design with its number one retail CAD line that includes TurboCAD.

The new US-based presence of BricsCAD on the web is here at: www.bcadusa.com
