BricsCAD Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

"Sin nada que envidiarle a AutoCAD, y con algunos beneficios"

What do you like best about BricsCAD? Todo funciona bien, y eso es mucho decir, ya que los programas CAD de bajo coste, suelen tener muchas limitaciones. En BricsCAD todo funciona muy bien. Debo ser sincero, como me lo recomendaron, lo instalé, pero con la sola intención de hallarle los problemas; pero para mi sorpresa, no los encontré. What do you dislike about BricsCAD? Lo único que le está faltando, son los bloques dinámicos. Si bien acepta todos los bloques que tenía creados en AutoCAD ...

"Modern Cost Effective CAD/BIM Solution"

What do you like best about BricsCAD? I have been using AutoCAD for more than 25 years , recently I have got a chance to explore this product . As an AutoCAD expert I could easily transform my knowledge into BricsCAD because of the similarities in Interface and approach . But BricsCAD has much more capabilities because its combination of 5 Modules . We can use a single software for sketching , drafting , modeling , rendering , mechanical design and BIM . We can perform a particular task ...

"What is not to like"

What do you like best about BricsCAD? I was trying, for years, to find a CAD application that works on both, Linux and Windows. It would have to have a familiar interface (AutoCAD) and use DWG as a default extension. Finally, when I came across BricsCAD in my search - that was it. However, I didn't expect that I would love it more than ACAD. It brought fun back into my drafting. What do you dislike about BricsCAD? I can't think of anything that I dislike about BricsCAD. I am somewhat sad ...

"Best alternative I found to AutoCad."

What do you like best about BricsCAD? Most commands and Shortcuts are similar to AutoCad commands which makes it easier to get started. What do you dislike about BricsCAD? The quad cursor takes time to get use to, that's about it for me. What problems is BricsCAD solving and how is that benefiting you? 3D direct modeling tools are easier to use than AutoCad

"So much better than the other options"

What do you like best about BricsCAD? Speed and stability. When we were still using Civil 3D at my job, crashes were frequent, sometimes caused just by loading a DWG or selecting an object. They would occur anywhere from once every other day to several times a day, often resulting in the loss of a lot of work. When doing things like PDF underlays, Civil 3D would slow to a crawl. None of this occurs with BricsCAD. Solid support. As with any program, there will be bugs. Unlike with Autodesk ...

"Great AutoCAD) SketchUp alternative"

What do you like best about BricsCAD? I'm a set designer, theatre, film, corporate. Bricscad is a great AutoCAD) SketchUp alternative. Way easier, faster than AutoCAD, perpetual license options, and affordable. Way more complete than SketchUp, no downloading of tons of extensions to get work done, more professional looking. Great interface Files smaller Files can be open/ imported in other CAD format, ie SketchUp, Blender, any DWG program etc... Lots of tutorials on their help page either ...
