How to Modernize Your AutoCAD Seats in Mechanical/Manufacturing Design -- at 80% savings

Last month, I published a post on Bricscad V10 and the ability to modernize your entire AutoCAD installation at 20% of the price of AutoCAD.  Its key points were that Bricscad V10 is:

… high-performance 2D/3D DWG CAD that’s now free of IntelliCAD limitations
… has a built-in application platform and a rich e-store of applications
… is noted by experts, in many ways, to be “better than AutoCAD”
… pleasing more and more customers everyday (over 100K users with a 98% satisfaction rating)
… available for 20% of AutoCAD price and with no “forced retirement” policies

In this post, I’ll add a few more details on how you can, with Bricscad V10, immediately/affordably modernize your AutoCAD seats in Mechanical/Manufacturing 2D/3D design.

1. Like AutoCAD, Bricscad V10 has more than enough power for designing mechanical parts and building systems – its 2D/3D engine now scales in all aspects for organizations that design/detail/deliver such parts/systems and their drawings.

2. As Bricscad is based on DWG and supports all versions way back to 2.5, communications with customers, partners, and vendors is fully preserved (perhaps enhanced) in an upgrade from old AutoCAD seats to new Bricscad seats.  And designers can continue to freely exchange DWG files with high-end 3D modeling systems like Catia, PTC, SolidWorks, and Inventor.

3. With Bricscad, companies can extend and empower their manufacturing lifecycle.  Let me explain:

Unique among AutoCAD alternatives, Bricscad V10 is also an AutoCAD-compatible programming platform.  Using LISP, C++, and VB languages and the COM, BRX, and DRX APIs, manufacturing organizations can fully connect Bricscad to their business systems.  Better connections to manufacturing planning, interactive catalogs, financial reports, and more -- that’s extending the lifecycle.

Also, thanks to Bricscad’s affordability, companies can finally afford to give 2D/3D seats to everyone that needs 2D/3D self-service.  Beyond designers, this includes purchasing, proposal writers, field application engineers, sales people, support engineers – for design, detailing, QA, demonstration, configurations/pricing, tracking, online support, and more.  The extended team is fully empowered to get the 2D/3D information they need, use it, and share it with others.

4. Bricscad has plenty of mechanical/manufacturing customers doing exactly this.  An example is Nucor Building Systems (NBS) – a division of Nucor Corporation which itself was featured in the best seller “Good to Great” by Jim Collins.  NBS has a Bricscad site license and has implemented an “empowered manufacturing lifecycle” with Bricscad as the core 2D/3D CAD system.  The complete story is available at: http://www.bricsys.com/volumelic/doc/nucor_case_web.pdf.

As a reminder – all this for 20% of the price of AutoCAD and with friendly policies.
