Switching
The Technical Stuff
Configuration and Customization transfer
In BricsCAD, all your standard configurations and custom apps still work (i.e., CTB/STB files, layer states, templates, utilities, etc.). Just point BricsCAD to their location on your servers or copy them to the appropriate BricsCAD folder on your local machine.
Supported file formats
Your custom assets are where the work-saving productivity resides … especially for your users. By supporting these formats, we allow you to bring your workflows into BricsCAD directly with little to no effort.

Named User Subscriptions vs. BricsCAD’s Flexible Licensing
Your Licenses
Your Way, Your Choice
BricsCAD® one license for Planet Earth. BricsCAD network licenses can float across your network, to serve both dedicated and casual users. If an employee joins or leaves your firm, there’s no need to jump through any hoops to assign or re-assign their named user subscription.
Cost-Effective
No Forced Subscriptions
Unlike other CAD software, BricsCAD offers the most flexible CAD licensing model. Choose between perpetual licenses or subscriptions, network or standalone. Or mix them together to get an environment that makes sense for you.
Best of all? A BricsCAD perpetual license is about half the price of a yearly subscription of AutoCAD®.
All DWG
Compatible
BricsCAD opens and saves DWG files directly, delivering the highest degree of compatibility with AutoCAD®.
You can open a DWG file within your current CAD system, work on it in BricsCAD, save it, and then open it in your other CAD system with no conversions.
You never have to worry about compatibility issues or loss of data between systems.
BricsCAD is Faster
BricsCAD is the fastest .dwg-based CAD system!
CAD should feel smooth and seamless, no matter how many millions of lines are in the file.
“I don’t know what BricsCAD’s secret sauce is but it’s spicy and when you give it a taste keep a cool beverage at hand. You’re going to need to soothe the burn somehow.”
– Patrick Hughes of CadTempo
