BricsCAD: the DWG-based AutoCAD alternative
BricsCAD is DWG-based CAD software that works like AutoCAD: the same files, familiar commands and LISP customization. Choose a perpetual license, owned by your company, or a subscription. BricsCAD V27, released in October 2026, adds BricsCAD Assist, an AI assistant built into the software. At Aufiero you get the official license and expert support across Latin America.
