Proposal for CAD Utilization: Seamless Operation of 2D/3D Data is Key

In which processes are 2D/3D designs required? Is the current CAD suitable for those requirements? It is often heard that high-end CAD systems are introduced but not utilized at all. Conversely, there may also be cases where the functionality is insufficient. Looking ahead to future 3D data migration, cost reduction through the optimization of 2D/3D CAD and workflow optimization may be the way forward for the next generation of manufacturing. *For more details, please check the related links.*

New Feature 1: Enhanced Drawing Search Functionality The search functionality for past drawings has been improved. Information within the drawings (equipment information, text, etc.) can now be searched, and once a drawing is loaded, it can be searched quickly. *Requires standard pack or higher, or the electrical cabinet option. New Feature 2: Bulk Editing of Component Information A dialog has been added that allows for bulk editing of component information within drawings. For example, it can check for duplicate device numbers that arise when integrating past drawings and allows for bulk editing. Additionally, consistency checks with the database and bulk replacement of old symbols are now possible. Functionality Improvement 1: New UI Customization Menu A new interface has been added. Here, frequently used commands can be consolidated, and custom commands can be registered. This new menu is also easy to share among users, and settings will be carried over during version upgrades. Functionality Improvement 2: Registration of Manufacturer Parts It has become easier to register symbols for outline drawings from drawings downloaded from component manufacturer websites, etc. Details will be introduced at the BricsCAD/ACAD-DENKI New Features Presentation.

We would like to introduce the new features of BricsCAD V23, which is just two weeks away from the Japanese version release on November 21 (Monday). A conference introducing the new features of our product ACAD-DENKI2023 will be held on November 24 (Thursday) at 14:00. We hope you will join us. New Feature 1: Enhanced TIPS The explanations of commands and operation methods will be provided in more detail. Even beginners can quickly check what operations are needed next. New Feature 2: AI Assistant Function An AI Assistant tab has been added. You can easily access features that can be used in the next operation and recommended functions. New Feature 3: ExpressTools Standard Inclusion The popular add-on Express Tools (Extended Tools) is now included as standard in BricsCAD. This allows you to use over 60 convenient features without needing to add any add-ons. *Express Tools can be used from the Lite grade. Feature Improvement: Enhanced ACM Support It is now possible to create and edit ACM-type mechanical drawing symbols from a dialog, making it easier to utilize ACM drawings.
