BricsCAD- Better performance at an exceptional value.

BricsCAD V23-google ads-1200x628-upgrade-no text-v23-en_US

The Interface Settings dialog is new in BricsCAD Version 23. Designed to help you make BricsCAD your own. It makes simple customizations, such as changing the color theme or panel docking system, a sinch.

Why did we implement this?

One of the best things about BricsCAD is that it’s highly customizable. However, the Settings dialog can at times, feel a little overwhelming, especially if you’re new to BricsCAD.

To improve the user experience, we moved some of the most frequently used settings into a dedicated “quick start” dialog. We believe this will make getting set up and running with BricsCAD V23 easier than ever.
