With the next release of Bricscad only a few months away, now is a good time some input from you the user, or potential user, as to the must have features you want to see included. So pop the top off a Duvel, and get stuck into the
Unofficial Bricscad Wishlist. And first wish is granted, it doesn't require Facebook!
I've prepared the following for you to vote on, plus the opportunity to add some of your own must haves:
1. Multileaders - Provide the ability to create, and edit Multileader objects, not just look at them!
2. Copy and Paste from Excel as a TABLE.
3. MLINE and MLEDIT - This should be built in, not a freeware add-on!
4. BATTMAN - This should be built in, not a freeware add-on!
5. PDF Printer - Available via PRINT & PUBLISH
6. Annotative Object Support - Text, Blocks, Hatch, Leaders......
7. eTRANSMIT - Package multiple drawings, and Include XREF Binding options
8. Sheet Set Manager - I need to manage my sheets
9. EXPORTLAYOUT - export a layout to model space
10. Model Documentation Viewport Generation
11. Viewports - Hidden line removal when printing
12. Surface modelling - Slice a solid with Surface etc..
13. IMPORT - add support for PDF, EPS, IFC/ifcXML, ESRI SHP, KML, STL

15. I Want my Bricscad to run on
16. And I need my Bricscad to support this many bits
So visit

better xref performance
Nice stuff. It is going to take time however. Bricscad has made big strides in a relatively short period. Good on them ! But so much to do.
It would be nice to have full 64bit Bricscad. Linux has had this capability for many years.
Bricscad doesn't include all the features of Acad with eTransmit. Some of the missing features are:
- The ability to select and package multiple drawings into one eTransmit package. Currently in Bricscad you would need to open each drawing independently, then combine yourself.
- Option to bind Xrefs. Some clients can't or won't deal with xrefs
- Option to set default plotter to none.
- Option to Purge Drawings.

I am too late to post, but I would like the 'cal command to work as it does in autocad within other commands.
for example: within offset, type 'cal and then 2.4375 / 2 to get a calculated offset distance.
Currently cal works to take you to a native linux calculator, not the same thing as an inline command line calculation.
This isn't a CAL replacement as such, but you can use LISP to carry out calculations from the command prompt, including from inside a current command.
e.g: for 'CAL 2.4375 / 2, in LISP is ( / 2.4375 2)
For unit conversion use cvunit e.g.: (cvunit 1.0 "inch" "cm") will return 2.54
you may need to change your _TEXTEVAL setting to get this working properly
