When it comes to CAD design software, the first thing that probably comes to mind is AutoCAD, and rightfully so. It was first released in 1982, essentially giving birth to the PC-based CAD (computer-aided design) movement as we know it. Since then, AutoCAD has become a household name in most AEC firms.
AutoCAD® and BricsCAD® are two well-known CAD software platforms. They share some similarities but are also quite different from one another.
If you considering a new CAD solution or looking to make the change, hopefully this article will provide some helpful context so you can compare the two.
