Bricsys releases Bricscad V9 and enables now professional DWG based engineering applications

Gent, Belgium - Merrimack NH, US: Bricsys announces the release of Bricscad V9, the latest version of its flagship product. Already since a while, Bricscad is the preferred 2D and 3D CAD platform for those users who want to extend their number of professional CAD seats or just want to replace other expensive CAD seats.

Bricscad V9 is a milestone version in several ways. First of all, there are a ton of improvements on existing features and many new added features like the in-place WYSIWYG MText editor, REFEDIT, Associative Dimensioning, Wipe-out, Transparency, support of ECW images - just to name a few of a long list. The performance as well is boosted again.
Bricscad V9 is offering now a complete and recognizable feature set to the professional CAD users.

But Bricscad V9 is certainly a milestone version because it can support for the first time all DWG applications, including those applications developed with ARX®, thanks to the Bricscad BRX Software Developer Kit. Developers of DWG based applications can now port their CAD and engineering applications to the code compatible platform of Bricscad V9.

Bricsys - together with more than hundred application developers - is now bringing applications for AEC, GIS, Civil and Mechanical Engineering to a huge DWG community that is looking for more affordable engineering solutions without giving up functionality.
Thanks to the extended list of available compatible API's (LISP, SDS, COM, BRX), Bricscad V9 is now the preferred platform for application developers to port their AutoCAD based application to. Each application extends the Bricscad V9 feature set to a new level.

By enabling DWG based solutions in every engineering domain, Bricsys now finally can offer freedom in the decision process. From Bricscad V9 onwards, the DWG world does have a real choice: Bricscad V9 combines professional engineering solutions with a fair and transparent pricing model and a user-friendly upgrade policy.

Bricscad V9 uses the DWG-direct libraries of the Open Design Alliance (ODA), reads and writes the native DWG format and offers compatibility with AutoCAD® 2009.

Bricsys will announce more details about BRX later this month.
