Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about BricsCAD and our services.
What is BricsCAD?
BricsCAD is a professional CAD software developed by Bricsys (part of the Hexagon group). It is a powerful and affordable alternative to AutoCAD, with full native DWG compatibility.
Is BricsCAD compatible with AutoCAD?
Yes, BricsCAD offers native DWG compatibility. You can open, edit and save DWG files without conversion. The interface is familiar to AutoCAD users.
What license types are available?
BricsCAD offers perpetual licenses (pay once, the license is yours forever) and subscription licenses (annual subscription). Both include access to all features of the chosen edition.
Perpetual license vs. subscription: which one fits?
The perpetual license is a one-time purchase: you pay once and keep it forever, with no forced renewals. The annual subscription costs less upfront and includes updates, but requires renewal. If you'll use BricsCAD for several years, perpetual is usually cheaper over the medium term.

Yes, you can download a free 30-day trial of BricsCAD directly from the Bricsys website, with all features active.
