BricsCAD Lite V25 - Single User Perpetual (LIT-SU-PER-NEW-V25-1Y):

Perpetual license for BricsCAD V25 Lite, intended for single users who need access to a cost-effective 2D CAD platform. The "perpetual" aspect means that this license does not require a recurring subscription fee, allowing the user to retain the software indefinitely with a one-time purchase. The Lite version focuses on essential 2D drafting and limited 3D capabilities, offering a streamlined feature set for users like drafters, designers, and architects who primarily need basic drawing and editing tools in a .dwg-compatible environment.

This version does not automatically include annual updates or technical support following the first year's subscription, although maintenance can be added as a separate purchase to receive support and software updates.

To receive updates and support, users would need to purchase an additional Annual Maintenance plan such as:

BricsCAD V25 Lite - Single User Annual Maintenance New (LIT-SU-MNT-NEW-NA-1Y)

This maintenance option allows perpetual license holders to access all updates released during the maintenance period and provides support from BricsCAD's technical team. This setup is designed to give users flexibility, as they can choose to add maintenance only if and when they need it.

BricsCAD Lite is compatible with existing AutoCAD® workflows, allowing users to transition seamlessly and continue working with their existing customisations. The software also supports LISP routines, enabling the automation of repetitive tasks to improve efficiency.

Ideal for professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction, BricsCAD Lite delivers powerful 2D drafting capabilities at an affordable price.

BricsCAD Lite V25 is designed to optimise 2D drafting with enhanced efficiency and compatibility features for AutoCAD users, offering robust support for the DWG format, command compatibility, and familiar tools. Key features include new machine learning-driven commands that improve task automation, such as the BLOCKIFY tool, which identifies repeated geometry and converts it to blocks, reducing file size. The COPYGUIDED function enables precise alignment when copying entities, and the Drawing Explorer centralises drawing management for easier navigation across layers, blocks, and external references.

The latest update also introduces an enhanced Sheet Set Manager for improved collaboration, particularly useful in multi-user environments. Additionally, the Lite version includes the updated Quad cursor menu, offering predictive command options to speed up workflow and reduce manual input. Interoperability is bolstered by full LISP compatibility, so existing AutoCAD routines can be utilized, and custom automation can be developed efficiently.

The platform is built to support both traditional drafting and more complex workflows, making it a flexible solution for professionals seeking a cost-effective alternative to AutoCAD without sacrificing functionality or speed. For users transitioning from AutoCAD, BricsCAD Lite provides familiar tools and a seamless experience with no need to adjust existing DWG-based workflows.
What's new in V25.2

BricsCAD V25.2 introduces several enhancements and new features compared to V25.0. Notable improvements include:
- BIMUPDATESTORYHEIGHT COMMAND: This command has been enhanced and is no longer experimental. It can now be accessed directly from the StoryBar, allowing users to update story heights more efficiently.
- IFC4 CERTIFICATION: BricsCAD BIM has achieved IFC4 Architectural Reference Exchange Export Certification, enabling participation in public tenders requiring IFC4-certified BIM software.
- CIVIL/SURVEY TOOLSET ENHANCEMENTS: Users can now import and export GIS data in KML or KMZ formats, facilitating better communication of project data with non-CAD users by allowing data visualization in applications like Google Earth. Additionally, a new command enables the offsetting of Strings or 3D Polylines both horizontally and vertically.
- POINT CLOUD DATA VISUALISATION: The introduction of the X-Ray Colormap enhances the clarity of point cloud data visualisation, improving the analysis and interpretation of complex datasets.
