Did you know BricsCAD V23 has a new set of workspaces?
We call this the ‘Modern Layout’. The Modern Layout has more workspaces as well as an optimized panel and Ribbon layout.
But don’t panic, for those of you that love the way things were in BricsCAD V22, or want to stick to Toolbars, you still can. Here at Bricsys we really believe that it’s your CAD, your choice!
What’s new for V23?
The panels and Ribbon layout have been optimized. The new layout is less cluttered and makes use of larger icons. It also introduces panel dropdowns that will feel familiar to users coming from other CAD systems.
The Ribbon layout has been standardized across workspaces, so you’ll spend less time looking for tools if you switch between workspaces, and we’ve added a dedicated 2D tab to all workspaces.
We have also introduced the Complete workspace: designed with BricsCAD Ultimate users in mind. From here you’ll be able to access the 2D, 3D, Civil, BIM and Mechanical tools, all from one location.
Combine the new layout with the new Ribbon, for early access to the future of CAD.
Pourquoi avons-nous procédé à ces changements ?
You may already know that we are working hard to modernize our code to make sure BricsCAD stays compatible with modern operating systems.
When talking to users, we noticed many were struggling with tiny icons and felt “overwhelmed” with so many options presented to them at the same time. We also noticed that users spent time looking for commands, especially when switching between workspaces. Many others expressed a wish for a workspace specifically geared towards BricsCAD Ultimate users.
And so, The Modern Layout was created.
