Extending BricsCAD to Fit Your Exact Design & Engineering Workflow
BricsCAD is a powerful, cost-effective DWG-native CAD
platform — but every design office, engineering firm
and construction team has specific drawing standards,
automation needs and connected systems that the
standard software doesn’t cover out of the box.
We build custom LISP routines, BRX add-ins and
automation tools that sit directly inside BricsCAD —
extending what the software does to match your exact
drawing standards, file management workflow and
connected document control or project management systems.
From automated title block management and drawing set
batch processing to BIM data extraction and document
control integration — we build the missing piece your
CAD team needs.
2D drafting and DWG automation — LISP routines, BRX add-ins and batch processing tools
BIM workflow extensions — data extraction, IFC export automation and model management tools
Mechanical drawing automation — parts lists, BOM generation and drawing standard compliance
Civil and infrastructure drawing tools — survey data import, annotation and sheet production
Document management platform — custom integrations, workflow automation and data connectors
BIM, drawing sets & documentation
Parts lists, BOM & drawing standards
Survey data, sheets & annotation
Site plans, compliance & drawing registers
Production drawings & automation
Available BricsCAD Plugins & Add-ins
Ready-to-deploy plugins for BricsCAD — available now
or customised to your exact specification.
Drawing Automation Suite
Batch process entire drawing sets — plot, publish,
export and audit multiple DWG files in a single
operation. Eliminate repetitive manual drawing
management tasks across large projects.

- Multi-drawing layer management
- Automated drawing audit & cleanup
- Batch attribute update across drawing sets

Project number, revision, date, drawn by and
custom fields — updated in seconds, not hours.
- Batch title block attribute update
- Project data auto-population
- Revision management across drawing sets
- Custom title block template support

BIM Data Extractor
Extract BIM element data, quantities and properties
directly from BricsCAD BIM models to Excel, CSV
or custom formats — for cost estimation, scheduling
and project reporting.
- Element quantity take-off extraction
- Property set data export
- Excel & CSV output formats
- Custom extraction templates

document control system — Aconex, Procore, SharePoint
or custom platforms. Eliminate manual upload and
revision tracking between CAD and document control.

- SharePoint document library sync
- Automatic revision push on save
- Drawing status & transmittal tracking
- Custom document control API connectors
Custom BricsCAD Plugin
Have a specific workflow, drawing standard or
integration need that none of the above covers?
We scope and build custom BricsCAD LISP routines
and BRX add-ins to your exact specification.
- LISP routine development
- BRX C++ add-in development
- Scoped & priced within 48 hours
- Fixed price — no hourly billing
- Full source code ownership
What We Solve
The most common BricsCAD workflow problems we fix
with custom plugins and automation tools.
Manual Title Block Updates
Drafters manually updating title block attributes
across dozens or hundreds of drawings every time
a project number, revision or date changes.
- Batch title block attribute update
- Project data auto-population
- Revision sync across drawing sets
Repetitive Plot & Publish
Manually plotting or publishing large drawing sets
to PDF — selecting paper sizes, plot styles and
output folders one drawing at a time.
- Batch plot to PDF automation
- Custom plot style management
- Automatic output folder organisation
Disconnected Document Control
CAD drawings managed separately from the project
document control system — requiring manual upload,
revision tracking and transmittal management outside
of BricsCAD.
- Automatic revision push to document control
- Drawing status synchronisation
- Transmittal generation & tracking
Manual BOM & Parts List Assembly
Engineers manually compiling bills of materials
from BricsCAD Mechanical assemblies — copying
part numbers, descriptions and quantities into
spreadsheets after every design change.
- Automatic BOM generation from assemblies
- Live update on design change
- Direct ERP export
BIM Data Locked in the Model
Quantity surveyors and project managers unable to
access BIM element data without opening BricsCAD —
no automated extraction to cost or scheduling tools.
- Automated quantity take-off extraction
- Scheduled data export to Excel
- Cost estimation system integration
Drawing Quality & Standards
Drawings leaving the office that don’t meet company
or client CAD standards — wrong layers, purge issues,
non-standard text styles and block inconsistencies.
- Automated drawing audit & cleanup
- CAD standards compliance checking
- Batch layer & style correction
BricsCAD vs AutoCAD — Plugin Compatibility
Already have AutoCAD plugins or LISP routines?
Here is what transfers to BricsCAD and what needs rebuilding.
| Capability | AutoCAD | BricsCAD | Migration Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AutoLISP / Visual LISP routines | ✓ Native | ✓ Native | Most LISP routines run in BricsCAD without modification |
| DWG file format compatibility | ✓ Native | ✓ Native | Full DWG read/write — no conversion required |
| ObjectARX add-ins (.arx) | ✓ Native | ✗ Not compatible | Requires rebuild as BRX add-in — we handle this |
| BRX add-ins (.brx) | ✗ Not compatible | ✓ Native | BricsCAD’s native C++ API — similar to ObjectARX |
| .NET add-ins | ✓ Native | ⚠ Partial | BricsCAD supports .NET — some API differences apply |
| DCL dialog boxes | ✓ Native | ✓ Native | DCL dialogs work in BricsCAD without modification |
| Script files (.scr) | ✓ Native | ✓ Native | Script files run directly in BricsCAD |
| BIM-specific API | ✗ Not available | ✓ Native | BricsCAD BIM has a dedicated BIM API — no AutoCAD equivalent |
