BricsCAD is a CAD package developed by Bricsys. It is designed for Windows[citation needed] and is among the few commercially supported CAD packages which also runs on Linux.
BricsCAD uses the Open Design Alliance DWG libraries to read and write the DWG file format made popular by the AutoCAD CAD package. BricsCAD implements the AutoLISP scripting language, DCL, VBA and BRX.
The software is capable of most contemporary AutoCAD release functions. With release 12 it added 3D direct modeling. V13 of BricsCAD was released in October 2012; the website indicates the release will be available in 17 language versions and will also provide support for BIM, mapping and assembly functionality.
