Bricscad Electrical

j b

Hello,

I would like to use Bricsys products to produce electrical construction drawings. What do I need to purchase in order to create these types of electrical drawings?

Thank You,

JB

I recommend Bricscad Pro.   There are add-on programs for electrical, but whether they would be useful depends on what country you are in and on the types of buildings you will be designing.  I use Bricscad Pro and Autocad 2011 to design everything from small tenant improvements to hotels to schools.  The only add-ons I have are QuiKPik and SuperPurge from www.manusoft.com and ToolPack from www.dotsoft.com.  Not all of these work with Bricscad at this point.  My configuration is toolbar driven, with all the standard symbols I use available on the toolbars.  I have about 15,000 lines of custom lisp code to automate as much as possible.

Thank you for the help.

To produce drawings, all you "need" is Classic Bricscad. I believe Pro has better 3d facilites and VBA, which some add-ons/customisations make use of.

There are block libraries and applications available from lots of sources, both general and specific to various disciplines - which of those might be useful to your work is probably best found out through forums less specific to one particular drafting program.

For mechanical services I use Bcad classic and a collection of blocks, lisp routines and script files I created over time to help my work and the way I like to operate.

For me, the ability to roll my own solutions has the most appeal. Others' block libraries never seem to be just what I need.

Even the next guy doing the same work will have different preferences.

I, too, need to create electrical drawings.

Does Bricsys Classic come standard with the ability to creat electrcial drawings?

Are the electrical symbols included?

What the difference is between Classic, Classic All in one, Pro, and Pro all in one?

Is this software user friendly?
