An update comes out about once a month. You can find them at https://www.bricsys.com/download.do. Bricscad does not generally advertise when updates are released.
V21 installs separately from V20 (different folders, etc.) so you can simply run th…
"those teenagers at Redmond" Priceless!
Thanks for all the replies. In the end I edited the registry to fix this. I found that I had to edit the "Bricscad.LOAD.xxx" entries in addition to the two that Torsten mentioned.
@Michael,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried exactly what you suggested before my first post. The current version did not update.
Maybe best if I remove and re-install Bricscad V21. I try to not do that because my installation is highly customi…
I don't think we can help unless you include more information. I assume this is a table, but you don't really say. You don't provide any information on how the calculations are done other than to say that there is an n/144 division used, but addi…
What type network do you have? Is Bricscad installed locally? Are you running any lisp or other programs that would interact with the network?
I suggest filing a bug report. What you're seeing is not normal.
I would help to know something about your computer and to know what your operating system is. I've used Bricscad for many years and I haven't seen a lag in what I do. Older i7 and Windows 10 here. My drawings tend to be relatively small and I hav…
The lines to create the layers should be
(command "-layer" "make" "P_DN125" "color" 140 "P_DN125" "")
and
(command "-layer" "make" "P_DN110" "color" 112 "P_DN110" "")
You may need to change the colers.
I would probably try something like this. It is not tested. It would look a lot better if the forum software did not strip out the indents.
[code]
(defun c:byl (/ ss)
(if (null (tblsearch "layer" "P_DN125"))
(command "-layer" "make" "P_…
Anthony,
Thanks. I'm not sure whether I'll stay with Bluebeam's driver or change to Bricscad's. Bluebeam seems to create smaller files but I've had trouble with stability in their latest version.
Anthony,
Thanks. I see the same.
Having the option to automatically open a pdf after printing is common. Both Bluebeam and docuPrinter have this option. I think the built-in function in Autocad does, too. I find it much more convenient to have…
Have you updated your video driver? Most reports of this error (many programs, not just Bricscad) seem to be issues with system files or drivers being out of date or incompatible.
There are many printer drivers that have a lines merge option that does nothing. So far as I know any driver which uses Ghostscript will not honor lines merge settings. The only drivers I know of where lines merge actually works are Adobe and Blue…
It would help to see the pdf files that you generate. I don't see what you describe here.
Plots look like I would expect them to here. There are differences when I use Bluebeam, DocuPrinter, and the built-in pdf driver in Bricscad. These are mos…
I've never seen this problem, but my first approach would be to created a new, empty drawing and insert the drawing you recovered into it. If the drawing inserts properly I would audit and save to a new file name, shut down Bricscad, then open the …
The file you posted does no show any unbalanced parentheses in Blade on my computer. The error message points to the text (progn) but that text does not appear in the file. Are you sure that the error message is for the file you posted?
Bl…
There is a built-in Layers toolbar that has both Isolate and unisolate.
It would be fairly simple to make this a toggle using Diesel for the toggle and lisp for the command.
Also in SETTINGS. Search for BKGCOLOR and BKGCOLORPS. You can also change the cursor colors using XCOLOR, YCOLOR, and ZCOLOR. Color 7 is "smart" and toggles between black and white depending on whether your background is light or dark.
The ebook…
In Bricscad the best way to set MBUTTONPAN would be by using the SETTINGS command.
For changing a mouse button use the CUI command then the Mouse tab. You can also change Command Aliases in the CUI.
Items in the SETTINGS pop-up that can be change…
@Joe,
To find the articles on disassociated dimensions in this forum thy a Google search with the text:

@Joe Good to know that the spell checker is local. Most forums that I frequent have their own spell checker.
With regard to capitalizing BriscCAD: At least I didn't call it brics or brix...
This seems to have been fixed in V20.2.05-1 English Windows. Bricscad tech support traced the problem I had to pasting from the clipboard. The report in the README that I think applies is "A copy-pasteclip bug that is basically impossible to descr…
I filed a support request and the Bricscad staff was able to duplicate the condition. It has been forwarded to the developers. The crash they were able to duplicate involved PASTECLIP, MOVE, and REGEN.
@James: Thanks for the suggestions.
Turns out I needed to hold the CTRL key down to see the double arrow because I have the User Interface locked on the desktop computer.
