New in BricCAD V17 for Windows

Some highlights on what is new in BricsCAD V17 include several new BIM-related tools, including the BIMPATCH command which relates to the state of model changes and the BIMSECTION command.

A new BACKGROUND command opens up the Background dialog and applies the chosen Background settings to the active (model) view. Other commands new include the COMMDIAG which checks to see if the BricsCAD Communicator product is installed properly and runs and prints out diagnostics in case it is not.

01 - Bricsys' BricsCAD is more than just an DWG native file competitor to Autodesk's AutoCAD. The European CAD software is also a BIM application with push-pull modeling technology that rivals leading competition. BricsCAD is available on Mac, Windows and Linux.

New Improvements

3D Constraints (.bak) files are now created when external .dwg files are modified upon constraints creation. And there are a series of improvements to the BIMDRAG command and BMREPLACE, the new Type option that allows the user to choose whether the new component maintains the link to its definition file or not.
