BricsCAD® (Windows) V26 installs and runs independently of previous BricsCAD versions.
The BricsCAD® installer that you downloaded contains all editions of BricsCAD: Lite, Pro, Mechanical, BIM and Ultimate.
For the full, up to date system requirements please consult the system requirements.
A BricsCAD Pro (or higher) license is required for running compiled (BRX) application programs.
A BricsCAD Pro license is required for rendering, 3D modeling and drawing view creation.
A BricsCAD Pro license is required to create 3D Constraint systems and mechanical components (parts). Pro licenses also enable BricsCAD's deformable solid modeling functionality.
A BricsCAD Pro license is required to enable Civil TIN surface, grading and alignment creation.
BricsCAD Pro is also the foundation for our BIM and Mechanical products.
BricsCAD Ultimate is a single license that includes BricsCAD Lite, Pro, BIM and Mechanical.
Applications: BricsCAD V26 is compiled with Visual Studio 2022 (Platform Toolset v143) and Windows SDK 10.0.19041.0. C++ extension DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) need to be compiled with the same platform tool set in order to be compatible with BricsCAD V26.

A BEDIT session can now run in two mutually exclusive modes depending on the type of block you're using/creating:
The available commands are listed in the ribbon. For dynamic block mode the ribbon will show the commands BPARAMETER, BACTIONTOOL, BVSTATE and BTABLE. Also: BACTION, BGRIPSET, BVHIDE, BVSHOW, BTESTBLOCK and BCONSTRUCTION.
The properties panel displays the properties of parameters, so they can be modified after creation. It does not yet support action properties, so the multiplier or the angle offset of an action have to be set at creation time. The command BACTIONSET is available for modifying the selection set. It is possible to create Block Properties Tables but not LOOKUPTABLES at this time.
CONSTRAINT PARAMETERS: BCPARAMETER doesn't exist (yet) in this release, so you cannot create new constraint parameters, but existing constraint parameters are shown and listed in the parameters panel. They're not meant to be edited (yet) but will be editable in a future release. It is currently possible to convert linear constraints to constraint parameters in the parameters panel and on the command line.
BESETTINGS shows the system variables for configuring the BEDIT session: BACTIONCOLOR, BDEPENDENCYHIGHLIGHT, BGRIPOBJCOLOR, BGRIPOBJSIZE, BLOCKEDITLOCK, BLOCKEDITOR, BLOCKTESTMODE, BPARAMETERCOLOR, BPARAMETERFONT, BPARAMETERSIZE, BPTEXTHORIZONTAL, BTMARKDISPLAY, BVMODE, GRIPDYNCOLOR and GRIPTIPS.
