![]() I am a graduate from Georgia Tech and I am President and CEO a 52 year old consulting and construction firm since 1985, in 1987 we started using AutoCAD and a bit later the third party product Softdesk that became Architectural Desktop, being rather new technology in our country back then our employees became the trainers hired at night and over the weekends by the Autodesk local reseller to train customers and develop his market and our company became the reference point he used when presenting his products to other consultants. ![]() How would you answer that question today? Would you be interested in me providing more posts about BriscCAD, such as practical experiences with attempting a transition from AutoCAD? Why did you investigate changing over? How far have you gone? What are your experiences? What are the pros and cons? How is performance? Reliability? Bugs? Ease of use? Familiarity? Support and other aspects of customer service? Total cost of ownership? Are you experiencing interoperability problems when exchanging drawings with Autodesk software users? How did you go with incorporating in-house customisation and third party tools? I would be very interested to hear from any of you who have adopted BricsCAD (either partially or fully replacing AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT in your organisation), or at least seriously investigated using the product. BricsCAD v16 superior to the also imperfect AutoCAD 2017 in several areas, despite the total cost of ownership being significantly lower. LISP compatibility and performance are excellent, for example. BricsCAD today is by no means perfect, but it’s impressive in many ways. No, that isn’t a guess, I’ve been keeping an active eye on things. Bricsys is one of those vendors, and their DWG-based AutoCAD alternative BricsCAD has improved way more rapidly than AutoCAD over the same time period. The fact that you can’t buy a permanent AutoCAD license any more has prompted some Autodesk customers to look more seriously at alternative vendors who do provide that option. Six years on, the situation is different. Most who responded had made the change successfully, others not so much. Back in 2010 I asked the question Any BricsCAD users out there? and there were a few of you who had tried to replace AutoCAD with BricsCAD.
