Unveiling BricsCAD V24.2: Explore the Latest Features and Enhancements

The CAD industry is continuously evolving, with each software release bringing new tools and enhancements to the table, designed to streamline workflows and improve productivity. A prime example of this progressive innovation is reflected in the latest iteration of BricsCAD: BricsCAD® V24.2. This version comes packed with a plethora of new features and improvements that cater to the diverse needs of CAD professionals across disciplines such as 2D drafting, 3D modeling, civil, survey, BIM, and mechanical design.

Enhanced DWG Compatibility with Dynamic Blocks

The handling of dynamic blocks has seen significant improvements in BricsCAD V24.2, providing a more seamless experience for those working with AutoCAD®-created blocks. Users can now manipulate dynamic blocks with precision, leveraging grips for stretching, flipping, and aligning, while also enjoying increased accessibility in complex blocks such as welding symbols.

Improved MLeaders

MLeaders in BricsCAD V24.2 behaves consistently both within the software and on export to other CAD platforms. This enhancement ensures a reliable visual representation and functionality of MLeaders, particularly when updating constituent blocks.

Improved Sheet Set Management

Streamlined management of sheet sets in V24.2 enables quicker creation of drawing sheets, with full support for custom paper sizes and faster previewing. Multi-user access to DST files is also a standout feature, improving collaborative efforts on projects.

New Hidden Object Flags

The new status bar indicators for hidden objects enhance the user experience by making the identification and management of hidden or isolated items in the drawing more intuitive. This addition allows for quick toggling and identification, enhancing drawing navigation.

Updated PURGE Dialog

The PURGE dialogue has been updated to provide direct access to nested purge functionality, which can be initiated either standalone or through the drawing health manager, offering a more efficient cleanup process.

Load Large Drawings Faster

With the introduction of Prop Object Limits, BricsCAD V24.2 significantly reduces the loading times of large drawings by optimizing how selected objects are enumerated in the Properties panel.

Easier External Reference Management

Detaching external references with zero counts is now possible without unloading, streamlining the management of these references and simplifying project organization.

Robust Civil Tools

Civil professionals can enjoy quicker display of color-mapped point clouds, a streamlined shape file import process, and the convenience of editing field names and formats to ensure data clarity for recipients. The new dialog boxes for point group and TIN surface management also contribute to a more user-friendly experience.

Innovations in BricsCAD® BIM V24.2

BricsCAD BIM V24.2 makes the journey from 2D or scan data to a 3D BIM model smoother and more intuitive, with tools like the new BEAM tool and enhancements to the Wall and Roof tools. The IFC Setting Dialog simplifies the handling of IFC data, and the ability to color map classified data in point clouds offers additional insights for BIM professionals.

Advancements in BricsCAD® Mechanical V24.2

The Mechanical suite has also seen significant updates, with improved AMPARTREF, a new BricsCAD® Block Reference, and a simplified AM BALLOONS command. The AMPARTLIST workflow has been refined, offering a dialog box for enhanced configuration and editing of part properties.

BricsCAD V24.2 stands as a testament to the dedication of the Bricsys team to equip CAD professionals with a robust toolset that enhances their ability to produce quality deliverables efficiently.
