The Powerful CAD Software Package
BricsCAD enables every drafter, engineer, architect, surveyor, and designer to achieve more for a lower total cost.
BricsCAD Levels
There are two base levels of BricsCAD to choose from. To put it simply:
BricsCAD Professional
Includes ACIS 3D solid modelling, parametric components, Point Cloud support, Civil tools, such as TIN surface creation, LandXML Import/Export, GIS Import/Export, and import of Civil3D data to .dwg. In addition, it provides access to all programming options (including VBA), meaning you can run any of the 3rd party applications available for BricsCAD. BricsCAD Professional is comparable to the full version of AutoCAD but with a much larger feature set.
BricsCAD Lite
Essentially 2D only (still has 3D wireframe capabilities) and has limited programming options. BricsCAD Lite is comparable to AutoCAD LT but has a significant advantage because it supports LISP (including Visual Lisp) programming, and network license options.
Key Benefits
Building on top of the BricsCAD Professional are three BricsCAD verticals that provide considerable new functionality to the .dwg platform. These products are:
BricsCAD Mechanical includes tools for creating mechanical components and assembly, working in sheet metal, parametric components, piping, and automated documentation tools.
BricsCAD BIM combines the simplicity of Sketchup, with the precision of .DWG. It includes powerful tools for automatic feature recognition and manipulation, customisable profile libraries, and extensive documentation tools. It adds Point cloud feature recognition. It has the ability to open files from Rhino (.3DM), Sketchup (.SKP), and Revit (.RVT, .RFA), and exchange (import/export) BIM data via .IFC.
BricsCAD Ultimate is a combination of BricsCAD BIM & BricsCAD Mechanical, providing access to the full suite of tools available on the BricsCAD platform.

BricsCAD Licensing and Pricing
It's your choice.
Whether you prefer Perpetual or Subscription licenses, need different license levels, or want to choose between single‑user and network deployments, BricsCAD gives you the freedom to select the option that best fits your budget and your workflow requirements. The choice is yours!
In addition to single stand‑alone licenses, BricsCAD also offers flexible Network License options. A Network License allows you to share BricsCAD seats among multiple users on your network, making it ideal for organisations with multiple casual or part‑time users, or for those wanting to centralise BricsCAD license management.
Management is straightforward, and you can make BricsCAD available to as many users as required. Network users can also “check out” a license for offline use, enabling continued work away from the office. While the upfront cost of a network license is higher than a single‑user seat, the ongoing cost per user can be significantly lower when shared across several team members.
Pricing (exc. GST)
Perpetual Licenses: Perpetual licenses are just that. Pay once and continue to use for as long as you have a system to support it. Maintenance is mandatory for all new license purchases for the first year. Annual maintenance is optional from the second year on and is the most cost-effective way to keep your BricsCAD up to date.
Subscription Licenses: Prefer a subscription based option? That’s available too.
Single licenses give you ultimate flexibility in how you utilise BricsCAD and is well suited to individuals and smaller organisations. Feel free to contact us to discuss your options.
Network licenses allows you to share a seat of BricsCAD across multiple users on your company network and can be very cost effective. Management is simple, and you can make BricsCAD available to as many users as you like. There are some additional requirements needed to use a Network license, so we recommend that you talk to us to confirm that it will work for you.
All prices are GST exclusive.
* Price is inclusive of maintenance & support. This is mandatory for the first year for perpetual licenses.
† Price is for 5 seats. New BricsCAD Lite network licenses are only available to purchase in increments of 5 seats.
Perpetual license pricing includes the 1st year of maintenance support.
Maintenance is recommended but optional for perpetual licenses from the 2nd year on to keep your license up-to-date.
Subscription license pricing includes support.
