DWG™ compatible CAD software
BricsCAD's .dwg compatibility ensures the rapid creation of design documentation, significantly enhancing the overall 2D drawing workflow. You can open and save .dwg files directly in BricsCAD, delivering the highest compatibility with AutoCAD®.
With BricsCAD, there is no need for file conversions. You can work on a .dwg file in BricsCAD and seamlessly open it in another CAD system. Choosing BricsCAD as your alternative CAD solution means you won't face any compatibility issues or data loss between your previous CAD product and BricsCAD.
To further enhance .dwg compatibility, BricsCAD makes working with AutoCAD® Dynamic Blocks straightforward. Using BricsCAD's block convert tool, you can convert Dynamic Blocks to BricsCAD's Parametric Blocks. This allows you to access the underlying block definitions, enabling you to change, remove, or add actions as needed. When you switch to BricsCAD, your previously created blocks will function as expected, allowing you to work with them immediately and efficiently.
