Welcome to the book that helps you transition from AutoCAD to BricsCAD.
BricsCAD V20 for AutoCAD Users is for you when you are:
An AutoCAD user considering, for whatever reason, switching to an AutoCAD workalike;
A CAD manager adding low-cost licenses of BricsCAD to complement your AutoCAD shop;
A design firm working with clients who have other CAD packages.
Here you will learn about the benefits of using BricsCAD while saving your firm a lot of money on hardware upgrades and software licenses. You’ll read about the advantages of switching to BricsCAD, how it is similar to AutoCAD, and some of the issues on which to keep an eye.
We provide you with details on the differences and similarities in user interfaces, compatibility of DWG files, and even how to operate two CAD systems in the same design office.
At the end of this book, we provide you with useful appendices that exhaustively cross-reference command and variable names between the two CAD systems — along with shortcut keystrokes and mouse button actions.
Or perhaps you are simply wondering about the differences between market leader AutoCAD and aggressive up-and-comer BricsCAD. Whichever the case, this book is for you. Now in its 12th edition, the book is updated to include functions added to BricsCAD V20.
