Looks like creating Blocks manually works as expected and Info is kept.
Even Blockify, when searching for multiple Solids works as expected.
Just when running Blockify over a single Solid or even a whole File,

The behavior you report is particular to the Blockify command. AutoCAD or indeed BricsCAD do not do this by default. Entities selected for the _Block command retain their properties (I would not use the word 'attribut…

Surprisingly but literally I recently published a plugin that does the reverse of Blockify. It only explodes blocks with a single solid and transfers the properties of the block to solid. The plugin is called A>V>C> Unpack.…
Basically yes.
Maybe someone more experienced may know better solutions or workarounds in Bricscad.
Or this is a point where Bricscad is not so comfortable. Although it might not be a big deal
if you are used to.
I personally would not judge ove…
Ahm,
I forgot to mention that all these impressing Bricscad Tools work best
for rectilinear geometry.
IMHO there are some weaknesses in 2D and curved 3D maintenance.

Generally, FreeCAD works mostly parametric, with all Pros and Cons,
while Bricscad uses basically a non-history based "Destructive Modelling".
So you would work differently in Bricscad.
In 3D you will use its "Direct Modeling" tools and workflow.…
If you mean the Ribbon,
that happens to me too, every now and then.
I think these GUI and Customization hiccups
are equal on Linux and Mac.
Sometimes I even seem to have lost parts of my
customized Bricscad Settings.

That is an interesting issue, as a programmer will know how to remove any xrecord data you add to the dwg.

BTW, the guy's insistence on crossing lines at corners is a red herring - not necessary, just his artistic style.
Exactly what I did in my Studies.

Nevertheless,
I played with some project exports in Bricscad,
set some Sections and let Bricscad render Plans.

For me it looks like has has only 3 Sections

According to local drawing standards,
e.g. for a Plan Drawing,
I need an upper and lower plane to define what Objects
are included in a secondary fashion.

Yes,
if you want to use the full Command Line,
In case it is collapsed,
just double click inside the left part of the Staus Bar and
Command Line will reappear.
(Showing four Rows of history by default (?))
If you don't like CL, collapse it by …
That is a kind of head up Display in drawing view.
It appears when you have your Command Line Palette collapsed
and shows what the command line would show.
A quick search didn't let me find a Setting to avoid that.
Maybe when you set Command L…
Ah, yes, ....
Dark Mode still has some flaws here and there.
Maybe there is no Setting but coded into GUI.
I think that needs a feature/change request and they
will change it.

Anyway, my experience with communicator, is that when it is installed and licensed (separately from BricsCAD),
With latest installation I realized that there is a separate install for communicator,
which I didn't so far
You mean INSUNITS ?
If you want to change these you would have to scale the geometry.
And if they were wrong from the source, scaling would bring
in all rounding errors anyway ?
I always thought that Autocad/dwg would somehow not being
effected by drawing far from origin.
As nearly all Files I got from Autocad users over decades were
always drawn far from origin. Kind of georeferenced location.

It means more work, for sure, but it does not mean the end.
We just need to create a new renderer, that's all.
Normally the bulk of the effort should be for Redway.

In such a way I can easily and anytime control if an object was drawn with snap or not just by passing the cursor over the edges or endpoints of an object.

Did you export in IFC2x3 or newer IFC4.0, which is not yet widely supported ?
I recently learned that IFC2x3 would still be the way to go for now.
If I export IFC and open in Vectorworks, I get in all IFC Tags.

Bricscad's solution is Enscape Plugin.
Unfortunately Windows only.
A real solution for me would be to finally upgrade the BC's FBX exporter to a state

Not sure if Bricsys will use them, but I see endless interesting

My 2013 Mac Pro is still able to do CAD and Modeling. Just Rendering

I am not sure if it works with a standard export format.
AFAIK such a live exchange nowadays works by directly
grabbing the object data from the View Window data.
