Bricsys, the leader in cost-effective 2D/3D .dwg editing, has announced the latest release of its BricsCAD flagship software. Available as of today for download, version 15.2 is an upgrade that offers major new and improved features. The major update includes the following highlights:
Quad Cursor Draws
The function of the unique Quad™ cursor is extended so that it now also draws entities. Users bring up the Quad by clicking the right mouse button to not only modify selected entities, but also place new ones in drawings.
Sheet Metal Junctions
A significant improvement to the sheet metal design facility creates junction features automatically, with BricsCAD supporting several types of junctions. Junction gaps are automatically preserved, and can be controlled separately by the user. A new system variable defines the target CAM system for unfolding sheet metal parts.
Web Map Service
Map Connect adds correctly located maps to drawings through a connection to a web map service. One or more data layers can be selected for downloading as image files; users can specify the ground resolution and number of tiles into which the data should be divided. The ten most recently used connections are remembered for subsequent sessions. The Geographic Location dialog is redesigned so that users can define and store geographic location data in drawings.
