Bricscad V8 - is the Latest Version of Bricsys' DWG Compatible CAD Product

Bricscad V8 - now released!

Bricscad V8(TM) - based on IntelliCAD - is the latest version of Bricsys' DWG compatible CAD product.

Bricscad V8 is not just another update, but the next-generation Bricscad. It signifies the crucial step towards free choice in DWG CAD. Here is why:

Bricscad V8 is based on top-notch behind-the-scenes technology and compatibility. The Bricscad kernel has been rewritten from scratch, resulting in a solid foundation for continued rapid and solid development.

The new graphical user interface of Bricscad V8 has been redesigned completely. It is much more than just a few fresh new icons and dialog boxes. Some major parts have been completely redesigned. A new Drawing Explorer and new Properties Bar offer intuitive management of Bricscad DWG files. A new Settings Manager offers a consolidated overview of all system variables and settings, a difficult-to-master section of the DWGworld. You'll wonder why it wasn't designed like this in the first place.

Bricscad V8's development environments have been totally reworked and extended, resulting in unrivalled DWG compatibility!
