We have introduced BricsCAD to Takamiya Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the manufacturing, sales, and rental of temporary scaffolding. Originally, we were using a major 2D CAD software in Japan, but in recent years, with the increase in design workload, the staff has also grown. A few years ago, the licensing model for the same software switched to an annual contract, resulting in significant costs each year, which became a challenge. The technical department verified compatibility and usability with the free trial version and determined that there were no issues. With an eye on utilizing 3D features, we decided to implement the 2D-3D design .dwg compatible 'BricsCAD Pro'. In addition to reducing the burden of licensing costs compared to conventional CAD software, we achieved improved operational efficiency by utilizing customization features. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ Licensing costs became an issue as the number of CAD users increased. ■ The cost burden of 3D CAD was also a bottleneck in our efforts to transition to 3D. ■ We wanted to reduce the workload of our in-house engineers. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog "BricsCAD Implementation Case Studies."

BricsCAD is an affordable and high-performance CAD software that allows you to create 2D, 3D, and BIM all in .dwg files. ■ Do you have any of these concerns? ■ - The operational/implementation costs of CAD are burdensome. - I want to operate with a multi-license. - I'm considering switching from AutoCAD, but I'm worried about utilizing existing drawings. - I'm considering introducing 3D, but I'm concerned about learning how to operate it. - I'm using free/cheap CAD, but it lacks features. BricsCAD has been adopted by over 180,000 companies and more than 450,000 users worldwide, with over 10,000 companies in Japan alone. It is praised for its reliability, scalability, and stability. ■ What BricsCAD can do ■ ● Directly read AutoCAD drawings (.dwg) ● Flexible options for perpetual licenses, subscriptions, network licenses, etc. ● Reuse print settings, template drawings, and sheet sets ● Streamline repetitive tasks with AI-powered drawing features ● Customization migration (LISP, .NET, ARX, etc.) ● 3D design with direct/parametric modeling capabilities ● Support for IFC and point clouds Try the free trial version first!

The "Rework Officer" is a tool that allows you to execute a series of specified processes continuously on multiple designated drawings. It can significantly reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks. ■ Do you have any of these concerns? ■ - Performing repetitive tasks manually - Converting DXF files to DWG one by one - Manually deleting unnecessary block shapes You can execute a series of specified processes based on the description in the template file for multiple designated drawings. It is possible to specify multiple drawing files or perform batch processing by folder. In addition to the standard templates provided, users can also create their own template files. ■ Features ■ ▼ You can reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks. - Batch processing of repetitive tasks such as corrections within drawings, continuous printing, and continuous conversion or rework of multiple drawings. ▼ You can flexibly respond to on-site challenges. - Not only the standard template files provided, but also those that users can create. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Search Officer EX" is a tool that allows for high-speed full-text searches of vast CAD data (dwg, dxf) text and multi-text. ■ Do you have these concerns? ■ Managing drawings is complicated, and I can't find the drawing I need. I want to reference past drawings, but I don't know the file names. It takes too long to search for drawings. With Search Officer EX, the text, multi-text, and attribute values in the drawings necessary for full-text search are cached in advance as "indexes," allowing you to search for the desired drawings from a vast amount of CAD data at the fastest speed without searching each individual drawing. ■ Features ■ ▼ You can reach the desired drawing at the fastest speed, reducing search time. - High-speed search using indexes - All vast CAD data is subject to full-text search (dwg, dxf) - Indexes can be automatically updated ▼ No need to search for related areas of the search text within the drawing. - By double-clicking the search results, you can open the relevant drawing and zoom in on the hit areas on CAD. (A compatible BricsCAD or AutoCAD is required separately) * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The "3D Panel Diagram" is a tool for panel manufacturers that makes it easy to achieve "3D panel structure design," which is difficult with standard CAD commands. ■ Do you have these concerns? ■ - Operating 3D CAD is challenging - Collaboration with circuit design requires both 2D CAD and 3D CAD, making usability and data integration complicated - Unable to prepare the necessary component library for design By designing panels in 3D, it becomes possible to intuitively grasp the overall structure and perform interference checks. When used as an option with ACAD-DENKI, it allows for component integration with circuit diagrams. Based on the component information automatically extracted from the circuit diagram, it is possible to call up components that can be placed on the panel. ■ Features ■ ▼ Achieve panel design in 3D with the feel of 2D CAD - Adopting BricsCAD as the platform, it creates a unified design environment with consistent usability and data format (.dwg) for both 2D and 3D. ▼ Interference checks are possible - Interference checks during door opening and closing can be performed with the push of a button. Interference areas are highlighted on the 3D model. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

■High Compatibility BricsCAD has high compatibility with AutoCAD, making migration easy. You can inherit your existing AutoCAD assets (dwg, dxf data) directly in BricsCAD. As a compatible CAD, it also supports features such as external reference editing, automatic dimension adjustment, multi-text editing, quick selection, wipeout, layer state management, and CUI menu files. ■High Cost Performance Despite supporting AI, it offers an astonishingly low-priced perpetual license. It can handle 2D, 3D, and BIM at this low price! Additionally, it offers a variety of licensing options, including network licenses, and is available for international use, allowing for cost reduction. ■Operate 2D, 3D, and BIM with the Same Software Creating 3D models from 2D drawings and unfolding 3D data into 2D drawings is easy. Since everything is in the same software, there is no need to launch different software for each data type. Being able to generate 3D data from 2D drawings makes it the best choice if you are considering transitioning to 3D in the future. ■Optimal Customization Available You can create your own commands to make it a more user-friendly CAD. BricsCAD provides development tools compatible with AutoCAD (LISP, SDS, COM, BRX, .Net).

■How does it compare to other companies' electrical CAD? 1. It is the No.1 electrical CAD in Japan based on .dwg. 2. It is a user-oriented electrical CAD that reflects customer requests in the next version. 3. Staff with knowledge of electrical design provide early launch support and comprehensive assistance. 4. It is an electrical CAD that can flexibly accommodate customization. ■What is the difference between general-purpose CAD and ACAD-DENKI? 【In the case of general-purpose CAD】 1. General-purpose CAD takes time to create drawings. 2. General-purpose CAD cannot reuse data. 3. Necessary information cannot be extracted from general-purpose CAD. 4. All drawing checks are done visually with general-purpose CAD. 【In the case of ACAD-DENKI】 1. Efficiently creates drawings using electrical-specific commands. 2. Eliminates waste during drawing creation with commands that support reuse design. 3. Extracts information from drawings and automatically creates parts lists and FromTo lists. 4. Automatically checks multiple drawings.
