06 / FAQ
Quick answers
What is BricsCAD?
BricsCAD is a DWG-based CAD platform developed by Bricsys (now part of Octave) for 2D drafting, 3D modelling, BIM and mechanical design. It comes in five editions — Lite, Pro, BIM, Mechanical and Ultimate — and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Can BricsCAD open and save AutoCAD DWG files?
Yes. BricsCAD uses DWG as its native file format, so you open, edit and save .dwg files directly without conversion. According to Bricsys, the current version supports the DWG format through AutoCAD 2026.
Is BricsCAD available with a perpetual licence?
Yes. Bricsys sells BricsCAD as a perpetual (lifetime) licence as well as 1-year and 3-year subscriptions. A new perpetual licence includes the first year of BricsCAD Maintenance (support and upgrades); renewing Maintenance after that is optional.
What is the BricsCAD price in India?
The price depends on the edition, licence type (perpetual or subscription), single or network seats, quantity and any current offers. We don’t publish a fixed list price — request a quote and we’ll send a written INR price with GST shown separately. The official Octave BricsCAD online store lists international prices in EUR.
Which BricsCAD edition should I choose?
Lite for 2D drafting; Pro if you also need 3D modelling, rendering, point clouds, civil/survey tools or compiled (BRX) third-party apps; BIM for building design and IFC/Revit workflows; Mechanical for assemblies, sheet metal and BOMs; Ultimate if your team needs all of them.
