2022

Version 23.1.05

Improvements to BricsCAD Core

3D Constraints widgets The widgets of the 3D constraints display the corresponding constraint values: DMRADIUS3D (for a circle, sphere, cylinder and torus argument) and DMANGLE3D (for a cone argument).
AI Assist A new "AI Assist" ribbon tab is added, containing personalized command suggestions based on your BricsCAD usage.
The AI Assist tab contains 3 different types of suggestions: other relevant commands, personal commands, and next commands.
The "other" command suggestion panel contains new command recommendations based on the user's command usage. The "personal" command suggestion panel contains additional important commands in a user's design workflow.
"Next" commands are command recommendations based on the currently executed command.
The "Next command suggestions" panel will always contains suggestions, even before a user executes their first command. #magic
Animation Editor The Sun effect is now supported in the Animation Editor. You can also create special parameters and link them with the sun's azimuth and altitude, by name.
ARRANGE A command panel has been added to the ARRANGE command, to present the various arrangement options in a more visual way.
A tool icon for the ARRANGE command has been added to the Modify ribbon panels of the different workspaces, the Quad, the Modify toolbar and the Menu bar.
Draggable widgets have been introduced in model space during the execution of the ARRANGE command, to modify the arrangement (i.e., alignment/distribution) positions.
The position along the specified direction (X, Y or Z), and where to arrange (i.e., align or distribute) the selected entities can now be changed, from the ARRANGE command panel or via the command line interface.
ARRAYDETECT The new ARRAYDETECT command provides the array detection functionality that was formerly found in the BLOCKIFY command.
ATTRIBUTES Attributes referring to the properties of entities belonging to a parametric block can now be correctly regenerated after the parameters are changed.
SR100115 SR120514
BCLOSE We made a small improvement to the user experience by making the BCLOSE command repeat as BEDIT.
SR136414
Block Edit Dialog Converted the Block Edit dialog to Qt.
BLOCKIFY We added a command panel where you can edit the settings, and display the results for Equal Solids and Match Existing Blocks. Next to the command panel, we borrowed the green check marks and red cross signs from the BimPropagate command (in BricsCAD BIM). As such, you now have ultimate control over which solids to convert to blocks, and which to leave alone. Besides toggling individual widgets, you can use box selection to flip multiple toggles at the same time.
SR103403
The pattern recognition functionality was removed from the BLOCKIFY command, as it is now available in a dedicated command: ARRAYDETECT.
Boolean Block- and Component-based features3D constraints and associative dimensions in generated drawings which are attached to geometry of boolean-based 3D solid features are now correctly maintained upon parameter changes.
SR90049SR89640SR89644SR103884SR120496
The calculation of 3D parametric solid models which involve simultaneous 3D constraints, boolean features and arrays has been reworked. Many cases which previously failed to update are now recalculated correctly, thanks to the corrected sequence of the operations applied internally to the 3D solids.
SR96257 SR99757 SR100024 SR132738 SR121426 SR124421 SR140204
BricsCAD Diagnostics & Usage Data Program The dialogs displayed, offering the user the opportunity to join (or decline) the BricsCAD Diagnostics & Usage Data Program have been merged and simplified.
The user feedback in the log-in dialog has been enhanced.
CHECKFORUPDATES Introduced CHECKFORUPDATES command. It prints the current installed version, the latest available version and allows to go to the download page.
SR125359
Color Dialog RGB and HSL values on the True Color page are now automatically selected when they receive focus.
Command Panels For full-height command panels, no resizing of the modelspace area is performed (as this was extremely annoying with heavy drawings loaded).
The default location where command panels pop up is improved. Preferably, they show up on an expanded, non-empty panel.
CONNECT A new tool has been added to simply connect coplanar 2D curves. The CONNECT tool does not change the underlying geometric definition of the input curve elements. It only changes the start and/or end points to make them connected. When possible, the now connected input curves are joined into a polyline.
Convert Dialogs to Qt The following dialogs are converted to the new UI framework:* dlgCopyToLayer* dlgHyperlink* dlgNewSheet* dlgPublish* dlgLoadLineTypes* dlgGroup* dlgGroupReorder* dlgGroupList* dlgGroupHighlight* dlgGroupContinue* dlgImportSheetSet* dlgCreateSheetSelection* dlgSheetSelections
Copyguided3D Dynamic dimensions were added to assist in the positioning of detail entities.
SR129806
Next to copying entities (solids, blocks...), the CopyGuided3d command now also fully supports copying a set of faces ("sub-entities"), proving the power of BricsCAD's unique direct modeling engine.
Copy to Layer Dialog The copy to layer dialog is converted to Qt.
CRS Introduced Coordinate Reference Systems for Portugal: 4207, 5018, 20790, 27492, 27493.
SR134451SR140284
CUI The 'default.cui' file was replaced with 3 new "standard" cui files (modern, classic-ribbon and classic-toolbars) to accommodate multiple UI layout options. The classic-ribbon.cui is the default on a clean installation.
When a corrupt .cui file is encountered, a prompt enables restoring from the latest backup.
We have created two new workspaces: Civil and Complete, to give you the tools you need, when you need them.The panel layouts have been improved and standardized across all workspaces.The old workspaces have been renamed to "Classic" and you can still access the old ribbon layouts in these workspaces.
Commands started from a menu macro now default to prompting for input at the command line instead of displaying a dialog.
SR138035SR137945
DEPARAMETRIZE A new DEPARAMETRIZE tool has been added to strip a parametric or a dynamic block from all its "parametrics". As such, the resulting block becomes a dumb, static block. The tool accepts either a single block reference or a set of block references. Under the hood, new (static) block definitions are created for them.
Dimension Overrides Dimensions with over-ridden dimension text can be underlined using the MARKDIMOVR system variable without modifications to the drawing database.
Over-ridden dimension values can now be underlined automatically, if desired.
SR102744
Dimensions Allows users to select Dimension Arrows/Texts and use these sub entities for Quad commands.
DIMMARKTYPE Created the "DIMMARKTYPE" setting as a BricsCAD system variable.
DIMMARKTYPE system variable is extended to use overlines as well as underlines.
DIMREASSOCIATE We've implemented support for automatic updating behavior of associative jogged dimensions.
SR140048
DIMSPACE We added the DIMSPACE command, which adjusts the spacing between linear dimensions / angular dimensions.
SR131721SR115925SR126615SR35967SR84734SR94761SR98705SR133444SR134195SR140544SR141665

SR113600SR113412SR114190SR113814SR113670
Avoided flicker of existing selection when a new entity was added to the grips selection set.
Improved the performance of highlighting / un-highlighting large sets of entities in 3D display modes.
SR94411SR91326
DIST The first point prompt of the DIST command now defaults to the value of LASTPOINT.
SR143470
DMAUDIT The DMAUDIT command panel has been added, making it easier to change the settings for the command. Changing the entity selection, setting the mode (fix or check), and specifying the ADT output file name are now all optional.
Drawing Recovery Manager This new panel displays a list of drawing files that can be recovered after a program or system failure.The DRAWINGRECOVERY and DRAWINGRECOVERYHIDE commands show/hide this panel.
SR98736SR101407SR126729SR133620SR138606SR140538SR141194
DWGCompare Panel DWGCompare now uses a dedicated panel to help you easily compare the contents of two .dwg files. The legend allows to set the colors in which new, removed and modified entities are displayed. In the Results tab, you can browse through all detected differences. It displays two thumbnails: the first one shows the selected differences in the current drawing and the second shows the objects from the compare drawing. You can immediately zoom in to the selected object's location in the model.
DWGHEALTH The new DWGHEALTH command combines the functionality of multiple stand-alone BricsCAD commands that can help improve overall drawing size and accuracy, e.g.: AUDIT, SIMPLIFY, BLOCKIFY and more. This is part of an on-going Epic to deliver automated drawing health management tools in BricsCAD.
Dynamic Block Improved the display of dynamic blocks with constraints.
SR115513
Enhanced Help Trying to input commands from other CAD software? BricsCAD will now display tips in the Command line for alternative commands and workflows available in BricsCAD.
Erase of Associative Hatches BricsCAD now removes an associative hatch from the reactor lists of associated boundary objects immediately after hatch deletion.
SR98528
EXPORTPDF Added plotstamp support when exporting to PDF: Print as PDF.pc3, EXPORTPDF and PUBLISH.
SR114544SR102368SR97700SR96069
Express Tools The English language versions of the Express Tools for BricsCAD are fully integrated in V23. We are currently preparing the Express Tools for localization. Additional language support will roll out in future minor or major releases
Field Dialog Added support to create/edit custom properties of dynamic blocks and block references.
SR141359
FINDOUTLIERS Objects positioned at extreme coordinates can be extremely annoying; these objects are typically hard to detect, so it is hard to find out they are there. Further, the manipulation of the view becomes really hard, since that depends on the total extents of the drawing. This new FINDOUTLIERS command aims to aid users in detecting these objects at extreme coordinates, and offers some actions in order to deal with them.
SR138970
FITPOLYLINE When selecting any point clouds and/or sections, the command first prompts to select exactly one point cloud and section, if needed.
GUI Dialogs Fixed: adjust the dialog's position on screen to make the dialog top-left corner visible when user migrates to/from different monitor configurations with different size or/and resolution.
SR101130SR130182SR134365
HIGHLIGHT The text string in the Settings dialog referencing the HIGHLIGHT system variable has been corrected. It now states that the value of the HIGHLIGHT system variable is not saved in the current drawing or in the system registry, i.e., it is "per-session".
SR142481
Icon Visibility The icons for the DIMCONTINUE and POINT commands have been re-designed for better visibility.
SR140975
Import Sheet DialogThe import sheet set dialog has been ported to Qt.
INSERT, BMINSERT The INSERT and BMINSERT commands were unified. In effect, we've extended the INSERT command by adding the functionality of BMINSERT to it, for use on parametric blocks / external references.
SR129144
Interface Settings Panel The Interface Settings panel, a new CUI control for V23, now includes a chooser for the "factory" CUI styles - modern ribbon, classic ribbon or classic toolbars.
Layers Panel The columns Plot, New VP and Material are now shown by default.
Load Linetypes Dialog Box We replaced the WxWidgets based "Load Linetypes" dialog box with a Qt-based implementation. There is no functional change to this dialog.
Login as Guest Login as guest allows users to participate in the BricsCAD Diagnostics & Data Usage Program without authenticating.
Data and prediction models are then collected and stored under an anonymous identifier specific to the user's BricsCAD installation - instead of specific to the user's account.
Logging-in with user credentials has the additional benefit of synchronizing the user's prediction models (for Autocomplete, AI Assist ribbon tab) across different installations of BricsCAD.
MLEADER MLEADER attributes are now displayed on the Properties panel.
New Default Tool Palettes We have added a number of new, default tool palettes, to help you get acquainted with BricsCAD's unique toolset more quickly.
New Publish Dialog The Publish Dialog has been converted to the Qt UI framework.
New Sheet Dialog The create new sheet dialog has been converted to Qt.
OPTIMIZE The implementation for keeping line-arc connections has been improved.
OVERKILL When choosing the Combine Duplicate Blocks option, you can now preview the groups of blocks and their references, and select which ones to keep.
Parameter Bounds Now it's possible to force the value of a parameter into a specified interval. You can use the Mechanical Browser or Parameters Manager panels to specify lower and upper bounds for a parameter. If parameter is assigned to a geometry-driven 3D constraint its bounds will be taken into account while moving the constrained geometry. DMCONSTRAINT3D command now has a new option to specify the lower and/or upper bounds for the constraint value.
SR100751 SR102841 SR128253
Parametric External References External references with changed parameter values are now updated when corresponding external file is modified and reloaded.
PARAMETRICBLOCKIFY Flip lines in the input parametric block are now correctly supported.
The Parametric Blockify command now also supports 2D parametric blocks or a selection set of 2D geometry containing parameters and constraints.
2D diameter and radius constraints are now also supported.
PARAMETRICBLOCKASSIST A first (beta) version PARAMETRICBLOCKASSIST, or PBLOCKASSIST, has been created. This is a converter that reads AutoCAD-created Dynamic Blocks and converts them to BricsCAD-format Parametric Blocks.
SR88751 SR116520
Quite a lot of Dynamic Block actions are already supported, such as DBlock look-up tables are converted to PBlock Design Tables.
SR142692
-PDFATTACH The file selection prompt of the -PDFATTACH command is now controlled by the FILEDIA system variable, and the PDF underlay dialog is controlled by CMDDIA.
SR143428
PRINT Added a WATERMARK to print output when using a BricsCAD Academic license.
SR105015 SR23279 SR38917 SR43596 SR98380
Publish Dialog The key now works for removing rows in the Sheet List table.
PURGE We added a dialog where you can choose which item types to purge. A commandline-only version is still available with -PURGE.
SR101336SR93161SR38993SR118886SR127151SR137572SR140930SR141812
Extended command to support nested purge (purge nested items).
SR39461SR42464SR76198SR77407SR115608SR128254SR129730SR142430
Qt Upgraded the UI framework to Qt version 5.15.10.
QUAD Tools without an underscore prefix in their command strings are now supported and will show up in the no-selection Quad's most recently used items row.
SR103308SR123853SR119639
The commands MEASURE, ID, UNISOLATEOBJECTS in the Quad are now available under more circumstances to help facilitate faster workflows.
Quad Rollover Tips Properties of entities on locked layers can no longer be modified with the Quad Rollover Tips.
SR140249SR83842
Dimension arrow block properties are now always fully visible in the rollover tips panel.
SR138137
RIBBON We're in the process of introducing a new Ribbon design in BricsCAD. The new Ribbon framework is based on Qt, replacing the historical WxWidgets-based underpinnings. The choice of Ribbon ("qt" vs "wxwidgets") can be controlled using the USENEWRIBBON system variable, which is set to "0" (use "WxWidgets") by default. If you want a sneakpeak how the new framework functions change the setting of USENEWRIBBON to 1. You'll need to exit and restart BricsCAD to effect the change.
Added the COPYGUIDED3D command to the ribbon in all relevant workspaces (i.e., those with a Modeling ribbon).
SR143407
A significant number of commands have been repositioned in the modern.cui Drafting and Modeling layouts. In particular, manipulation commands: MOVE, ROTATE, MIRROR, COPY, etc. The Home tab of the Drafting and Modeling workspace will be familiar for users coming from other CAD platforms. They now have large, drop-down menus that display all hidden commands in a single click. This saves time as there is no need to search various split buttons for a command. All panels were set to Dock instead of float or tabbed, this ensures the command panel displays consistently across all workspaces and all UCS elements are clearly visible from a fresh install. In the other tabs, more commands have been brought to the front and the parametric tools have returned to the Modeling Tabs for all workspaces.
SR143308 SR143394 SR144300
When a Ribbon contains more Tabs than will fit on the Ribbon menu bar, the overflowing tabs are hidden and shown in a drop-down menu instead.
SR101813
SELECTION Lasso selection has been implemented. It is available when when the PICKAUTO setting >= 4. Lasso is activated when the left mouse button is held down while the mouse is moving. Window, crossing and fence modes can be toggled by pressing the space bar.
SR123070SR104020SR82059SR81307SR124269SR130472SR136157SR136269SR140971SR142147SR103617
Settings The DefaultPlotStyleTable user preference setting has been implemented.
SR144249
Sheet Set Manager We've added the option to publish sheets to PDF (or using a plotter, based on the last used presets) directly from the Sheet Set Manager panel.
SR131575
Fixed an issue where a re-ordered sheet appeared at the bottom of the tree listing.
SR115003 SR145606
Sheet Set Panel A new sheets tree menu option has been added enabling you to save all sheets belonging to a sheet set.
SR69272
Opening the Qt Sheet Set panel closes the legacy panel, and vice-versa.
The import of a sheet layout to a sheet set will be prevented if the layout already points to another sheet set.
SR115003
The list of layouts can now be sorted before importing them to a sheet set. Also multiple layouts can be included/excluded in one operation.
SR140477SR115003
The sheet set panel now contains a dropdown menu listing the recently opened .dst files. Clicking one of these files loads its sheet set into the panel.
SR123717
A preview of the selected sheet layout is shown in the Create New Sheets dialog.
The details panel now contains a preview for sheets.
SHP File Support ESRI SHP files can now be imported and exported with GISIMPORT and GISEXPORT commands.
SR102373
SIMPLIFY A command panel for choosing the Simplify settings has been added. The command panel offers a preview, making it easier to find the right settings. The 'straighten' option has been removed: polylines that contain arcs are never simplified.The commandline options have been changed, making it possible to run the command without having to choose the settings on the commandline.
SPELLCHECKER Implemented a "check as you type" spell checking feature for BricsCAD's built-in text editor.
SR88739SR95315SR90300SR82165SR86164SR93782SR94896SR117418SR101218SR119573SR128094SR128203SR130081SR129097SR134801SR134827SR141813SR128235SR127467
Surface Properties The Properties panel now displays U and V Isolines properties for surface entities.
System Variables The MIRRHATCH system variable is now exposed to the command line and added to the Settings dialog.
SR137672
Tables Performance while grip-editing large Tables has been greatly improved.
Tips Panel The Tips Panel content has been updated to provide new and existing users with richer in-product help and command guidance.
The Tips Panel shows a help page when a layout is selected.
Toolbars Dragging and dropping toolbars in between existing toolbars is now more user friendly. If multiple tools share the same row after dropping, a toolbar may be wrapped onto a new row to ensure that both existing and newly dropped toolbars are visible instead of getting pushed outside the main frame window.
SR138747
TOOLPALETTES The experimental panel (Qt) has now become the main ToolPalettes panel and the old one (based on wxWidgets) has been removed.
Fixed blurry display of images at e.g. 125% display scaling
Implemented the vertical tab-bar feature request for the Tool Palettes panel.
SR130204
A button is now available in the top-right corner of the panel to open the palette context menu.
New ToolPalettes panel: context menu on tabs is now available.
New ToolPalettes panel: improved list view design. Also added a button to open the context menu.
New ToolPalettes panel: when adding a new separator or text item via the blue "Add" button or the top-right context menu button, the view scrolls down to show it, if needed.
Rectangle selection is now available to select tools.
TOOLPALETTEPATH: now supports catalogs with the same GUID.
SR131157
When dragging a tool inside a palette, the palette is now automatically scrolled if needed.
TSPACETYPE The MLeader behavior has been improved to handle the TSPACETYPE settings variable.
SR103599

Associativity Added new properties "Associativity" and "Associative coloring". "Associativity" indicates whether a tag is associated. "Associative coloring" visualizes an unassociated tag in red, if true. It doesn't change the tag's actual color property.
Active Story Added the active story state. See "Top view Modeling" for more information.
BCF Panel It is now possible to create new BCF issues and sync them with your favorite BCF cloud service (BIM Track, BIMcollab, BIMsync). While doing so, you can immediately add a screenshot and a viewpoint, which will guide your team members to the exact location of the issue. Entity selection to the screenshot has been added, both when creating a new issue or adding a comment to an existing one.
When you select entities before creating the screenshot, this entity selection will be saved within the BCF issue and synced to the BCF cloud service. It is also possible to adjust the entity visibility to show only selected entities.
The login process has been improved, so that you don't have to manually provide the URL of the BCF cloud service anymore.
BIM Details Panel The panel for managing BIM Details has been converted to Qt.
The filter mechanism, based on detail tags, is now exposed by clicking on a filter icon.
BIMEXTEND Extends a wall to a wall (works with un-classified wall-like (poly)solids, as well)
BIMPROJECTINFO The database information window shows statistics on spatial structures, such as the number of buildings, the number of stories, etc.
BIMPROPERTIES An XSD (XML Schema Definition) file has been created to be be used for generating XML files for BIM properties.
SR138549
BIMQUICKDRAW We added a command panel, making it possible to easily change the settings while placing rooms.
The WALLWIDTH, SLABTHICKNESS and FLOORTOFLOORDISTANCE system variables, related to the BIMQUICKDRAW command, have been removed, since these user settings are now available in this new Bim Quickdraw command panel.
BIMQuickwall Lets you create a UCS X or Y aligned wall with one click, with both ends connected to existing walls. Wall width can be specified in the command panel.
BIMSECTIONUPDATE The performance of the second and subsequent updates has been improved for associative sections.
BIMSLICEWALL Slices a wall vertically (works with un-classified wall-like solids, as well).
BIMSTAIR We added a command panel, making it possible to easily change the settings while placing the stair.
The BIMSTAIR-specific settings have been moved from the general BricsCAD application "Settings" dialog to the BIMSTAIR command panel. A new setting has been introduced, to turn off the new approach of handling stair objects during sectioning.
BIM Support Folder Grid and Space 3D call-outs have been moved to the "_SectionSettings.dwg" file.
BIMTAG A command panel has been added for the BIMTAG command.
BIMTRIM Trims a wall, automatically detects other walls and uses them as the trim object (works with un-classified wall-like solids, as well).
BOM for BIM Three example BOM files are added to \UserDataCache\Support\en_US\Bim\Schedules:Door Schedule.bom,Material List.bom,Window Schedule.bom.
CONVTOSURFACE, CONVTOSOLID, CONVTOMESH BIM data and the entity's GUID are now maintained when applying CONVTOSURFACE, CONVTOSOLID or CONVTOMESH.
Create Sheets Dialog Added an option to only allow 1 section per sheet in the Create Sheets dialog.
It is now possible to set the sheet's layout for viewports individually, in the viewports tab of the Create Sheets dialog.
It is now possible to set the viewport's typed plan from the Create Sheets dialog.
Creating BOM Files Clicking "New BOM" in the blue plus button menu opens a dialog, allowing you to create a BOM file. After that, it is possible to configure the BOM in a panel.
Data Extraction A BOM can be used for BIM entities, offering additional functionality that was not previously possible with BIM schedules.
SR115504 SR118714
Drag and Dropping BOM Files BOM files can be dragged and dropped on a sheet, resulting in a table being generated on that sheet.
Drawing Generation The "Generate background" property was added to BimDbViewport. When on, a background image will be added to section result during BIMSECTIONUPDATE.
Stair objects are now specifically processed during drawing generation; in order to show a more relevant 2D stair representation on 2D plans.This alternative symbolic stair representation is generated automatically for all objects classified as stairs, and includes the parts cut away by the section, nosing lines, numbering and a walking line, which are placed on different layers.
This automatically generated 2D representation can be overruled either by a custom symbolic representation on the BRX_* or BIM_2D_* layers, or with a Typed Plan (with a symbol customization).For users who wish to customize the symbolic representation, we added a new command, BIMGENERATE2DSTAIR. This command will put the automatic symbolic representation on BIM_2D* layers inside the stair block. This can afterwards be modified by the user, and will be used during section generation.
SR119538
Edit Sheets Dialog It is now possible to set the typed plan of viewports from the Edit sheets dialog box.
Editing BOM Files BOM files can be edited by right clicking the BOM file in the file tree, then clicking "Open file". That right click menu also contains the buttons "Generate csv" and "Generate xlsx", which allows you to export the BOM to .csv or .xlsx.
General Filter UI The existing filter UI component (as used in Graphical Overrides and BimDimension) has been extended to support multiple "rows". This is done to support the logical "OR" operation. A switch button has been added to the context dialogues in the general filter UI to specify whether nested entities need to be searched top-down or bottom-up. The filter for BIM Type will now show the list of BIM Types to choose from.
IFC Export IFC attributes are now managed dynamically, like properties and property sets. This allows the user to choose between IFC2x3 and IFC4 attributes. The Attributes and Attribute Sets can be managed in the BIMPROPERTIES dialog box, where you can toggle their visibility.
SR104654 SR135705 SR135698
The visibility of the namespace and the attributes are checked before exporting, and a warning message is shown if the visibility is turned off.
We fixed an issue that caused BricsCAD to crash during IFCEXPORT when the bsyslib database file was missing.
SR145459 SR145984
IFC Import Many improvements to our IFC4 Import have been made, including additional support for IfcSectionedSolidHorizontal, IfcAlignmentCurve, IfcLinearPlacement, and better handling of split walls.
IFC Import and Export Entities such as BIMgrid and objects classified as Site now retain their GUID when importing/exporting from/to IFC.
Sites, Buildings and Storeys now have a persistent GUID during import and export. The GUID is visible in the BIMSPATIALLOCATIONS dialog.
We added many IFC types, mainly for IFC4. Use BIMCLASSIFY and select the newly added types. When using IFC4 specific types, make sure to make the IFC4 attributes visible in BIMPROPERTIES.The new BIM types can be exported and imported to IFC, and can be used in data extraction, filtering (for Typed Plans or Graphic Override).Please note that these new BIM types are not backward compatible with older BricsCAD versions. In order to keep your project backward compatible, make sure not to use the new BIM types and use the IFC2x3 attributes.

Section INSUNITS initialization was implemented for correct section size generation in millimeters, for 3D models with any initial INSUNITS setting.
SR140859
Sheetset Setup The Sheetset Setup dialog was ported to Qt and split into the Create Sheets dialog and the Edit Sheets dialog.
SR129805SR140177
Sheetset Templates In older BricsCAD BIM versions, metric projects with a model in cm or m used a hard coded template sheetset file and a corresponding template sheet dwg in cm resp. m., ignoring the setting 'SectionSheetsetTemplateMetric'. In V23 all metric projects by default use a sheet template in mm, and will honor the setting 'SectionSheetsetTemplateMetric', if not empty. The cm and meter sheetset and sheet template files are no longer included in the installation.
STORYBAR Tools have been added at the top of the view, including home icon, building label, active story name, and exit button. The last two are only displayed when there is an active story. See Top View Modeling.
Structure Tree Configuration Files Three new configuration files are added to the release, to be used by the Structure Browser:* BIM - Composition.cst: sorts and groups BIM entities by composition* BIM - Profiles.cst: sorts and groups BIM entities by profile* BIM - Type.cst: sorts and groups BIM entities by BIM-type

Top View Modeling We added Top View Modeling, a mode to edit the 3D model as a 2D floor plan. It can be activated by clicking on a story disc on the Story Bar, or with command ACTIVATESTORY. The mode is deactivated by clicking 'Exit' on the storybar or with command DEACTIVATESTORY
In top view modeling (tvm), the view is changed to top view and perspective is turned off.
3D Solid Face and detected boundary highlighting is turned off, osnapz is turned on and ucs is moved to the story elevation.
The model is clipped by two section planes: above and below the story elevation. These sections are erased when exiting tvm.
Entities below the story elevation do not highlight, cannot be selected and are rendered transparently. This allows to use the story below as reference.
Insertion of doors and windows, as well as dimensions when selected, are adapted to top view in tvm.
A command panel to update sill height is displayed during window insertion in tvm.
It is also possible to activate a story in a 3D View, without switching to top view mode, by right-clicking on a story disc on the Story Bar, or with command ACTIVATESTORY. The mode is deactivated by clicking 'Exit' on the storybar or with command DEACTIVATESTORY.
An active story will clip the model with the same section planes as described above. SR87209 SR104283 SR105016 SR125678 SR120162 SR127790 SR129712 SR133323
Typed Plans With BricsCAD BIM V23, the concept of a "Typed Plan" has been completely rethought. A new Typed Plans editor has been created, enabling BIM users to easily define and consult all their drawing and tag customization requirements.
When there is no tag defined for an object in the Typed Plan, the rules set in _TagTypeToStyle.xml are used as fallback rules.
On creating a new Typed Plan, it can be renamed directly in the Typed Plan Editor.
SR140170

The "Drawing Customization" property on the viewports has been renamed to "Typed Plan".

Multiple tags defined in TagTypeToStyle.xml can again be used when using Typed Plans.
SR136416
Some examples of typed plans have been included in the support folder (Support > BIM > Typed Plans), such that they can be imported from the BIM Project Browser.The path for "Import Typed Plan" in the BIM Project Browser has also been adjusted.
Included 3 more typed plans in the installation set, to generate LOD100, LOD200 and LOD400 drawings
SR145772
UPDATELAYOUTBLOCK The new UPDATELAYOUTBLOCK command lets you update a block reference that was inserted by INSERTLAYOUT command.
VERSION CONTROL In the Version Control panel, when adding a folder that contains an old, deleted Version Control project, this project will be recovered.
It is now possible to revert to a previous commit while the file is open.
You can now create a Version Control project from within the Version Control Panel. While doing so, you can easily define which file types need to be ignored.
Visual Styles Three new Visual Styles are added to (BIM/Shape)-(mm,cm,m,imperial).dwt: 'Maquette', 'Render' and 'See-through'.
Wall dimensions Selectable dimensions are shown when a wall-like solid is selected. They display the distance between the selected and the nearest wall-like solid.

Improvements to Civil

BricsCAD Launcher BricsCAD Launcher has been extended with Civil design option.

User interface for creating TIN Surface from point file has been added.
The new option "TIN Densify" has been added to the TIN command. After TIN Surface is already being simplified, the user specifies the maximum elevation difference between the simplified TIN Surface and the excluded input points on a specified area in a TIN Surface. All input points that have a greater elevation difference than specified are added back to the simplified TIN Surface.

Improvements to Mechanical

BMBALLOON Non-mechanical objects that are present in a BOM table now can be annotated with balloons.
In automatic mode, only objects present in the selected BOM table will be annotated.
BMBOM An option to enable or disable multiple inserts of the same BOM table was added to BOM settings.
SR142443
BOM mode was introduced to configure which kinds of objects should be present in that BOM table. It allows to generate BOM tables for models without mechanical components or blocks.
SR134066
Column filters now can be applied to formulae and child rows in hierarchical bills of materials. In case of hierarchical tables, a setting was added to either keep or remove parent rows from the table if they don't match the filter criteria but have child rows that do match.
New BOMFILTERSETTINGS and BOMPROPERTYSET settings are introduced to define what objects to include and what property set to use by default.
For mechanical blocks, it is now possible to assign BOM status for particular instances.
SR131477SR131919SR142376
Now, BOM tables should work faster in common scenarios by reusing already collected data when possible.
Options to include parts from other documents to a bill of materials table were added to the BMBOM, BMBOMEDIT commands and BOM manager.
BMBOMEXPORT A new command to export an existing BOM table or a new table based on a provided .bom template to .csv files is introduced. It also allows to link tables in a document to a .bom file using datalink, which allows to use bill of materials like BIM schedules.
Now it is possible to export a BOM table to an .xlsx file using either the BMBOMEXPORT command or the BOM manager panel.
Command -BMBOMEXPORT does exactly the same as BMBOMEXPORT except that it is script friendly. It will not open any dialogs, etc.
BMBOMTEMPLATEEDIT A new command to edit the .bom files in a standalone mode using the BOM manager panel was added.
BMEXPLODE BMEXPLODE command now allows to specify a set of parts to create an exploded view from.
Option to configure which types of objects to include in an exploded view was added to BMEXPLODE.
Now, it is possible to create exploded views without creating a mechanical assembly first.
BMLOCALIZE Mechanical external references are now supported as well as traditional mechanical components.
EXPORT Native export to 3D PDF and ASAT formats now supports mechanical blocks, external references and solids.
Mechanical Blocks Support for mechanical blocks had been added to all mechanical design commands (BM) and scenarios including
insertion, exploded views generation, Bill of Materials generation, 2D drawings annotations, exporting of the data and importing it.

Commands INSERT, EXPLODE, BEDIT, XATTACH and others also support mechanical data making Mechanical design in BricsCAD even more compatible with regular workflows.

With Mechanical blocks enabled external references are used to represent mechanical assembly structure. With this approach handling of external files modifications for parametric multilevel assemblies is greatly improved both in terms of stability and performance, compared to the previous implementation of external mechanical components.

Mechanical blocks are now enabled by default, to return back to previous implementation of Mechanical components switch off the MECHANICALBLOCKS setting to Off.

Components/Parametrics API V23 brings an effort to modernize, simplify, and expand our mechanical components and advanced 3D parametrics API. As part of this effort, a few existing functions, classes, and namespaces have been renamed. This represents a binary breaking change for .NET plugins which already call these renamed API functions in V22 and prior versions. For BRX plugins we provided macros that enable the old names of several global functions to be mapped to their new names. Following is an overview of the changes:

BRX
acdbGetConstraintsGroup (was acdb3DCGetConstraintsGroup)
acdbGetAllConstraintsGroups (was acdb3DCGetAllConstraintsGroups)
acdbGetBlockParametersNames (was acdb3DCGetComponentParametersNames)
acdbSetBlockParameterExpression (was acdb3DCSetComponentParameterExpression)
acdbGetBlockParameterExpression (was acdb3DCGetComponentParameterExpression)
acdbGetBlockParameterValue (was acdb3DCGetComponentParameterValue)
acdbGetEntityGuiName (was acdb3DCGetEntityGuiName)
acdbSetEntityGuiName (was acdb3DCSetEntityGuiName)
acdbBlockParameterHasStringValue (was acdb3DCComponentParameterHasStringValue)
acdbGetBlockParameterStringValue (was acdb3DCGetComponentParameterStringValue)
acdbEffectiveBlockRefName (new)
AcVariable (members now declared pure virtual)
AcConstraint, AcConstraintsGroup (new members to support arguments)
AcConstraintArgument (new)
.NET
Bricscad.Parametric namespace (was Bricscad.Constraints3d)
Bricscad.Parametric.Utility (was Bricscad.Constraints3d.Assoc3dNetwork)
Bricscad.Parametric.ConstraintsGroup3d (was Bricscad.Constraints3d.Assoc3dConstraintGroup)
Bricscad.Parametric.Parameter (was Bricscad.Constraints3d.Assoc3dVariable)
Bricscad.Parametric.ParameterArray (was Bricscad.Constraints3d.Assoc3dVariableArray)
Bricscad.Parametric.BlockParameter (was Bricscad.Constraints3d.ComponentParameter)
Utility.GetConstraintsGroup3d (was Assoc3dNetwork.Get3dConstraintsGroup)
Utility.GetBlockParameter (was Assoc3dNetwork.Get3dComponentParameter)
Utility.GetBlockParameterNames (was Assoc3dNetwork.Get3dComponentParametersNames )
Utility.GetAllConstraintsGroups3d (was Assoc3dNetwork.GetAll3dConstraintsGroups)
Utility.EffectiveBlockRefName (new)
Utility.EffectiveBlockTableRecord (new)

SR85016SR130529SR134995SR139758
Added new methods to get/set custom properties and their categories (property sets). An extended API for custom properties has also been added. It is represented by the BrxMechanicalPropertySet and BrxMechanicalPropertyDefinition classes, and provides an interface for managing the property structure.
Added new methods to set many built-in component properties and to get the material name, standard part properties, and more.
SR136330
Added unmech operation for component definition.
The method for creating components has been extended for new components, now it is possible to create components for blocks (not only model space) and solids.

LISP Fixed a problem with (dos_copy) when the specified source file (not source folder) did not exist: function incorrectly returned T (success), and created an un-needed folder in the target destination.
SR144391
Improved automatic detection and loading of Lisp code files using UTF-8 enconding (without BOM header), to properly support language specific characters inside Lisp code.
Improved detection of ESCAPE key during intensive Lisp processing, to cancel the running Lisp code.
Calling (done_dialog) multiple times from the top level DCL dialog (to close all DCL dialogs) could cause a hang-up; this has been fixed.
SR142519
Implemented new LISP interface functions for 3D Constraints and Components.
Implemented new LISP interface functions for sub-entity selection: (vl-subent-atpoint point [subentTypes]) (vl-subent-select [msg] [subentTypes [osmode]]) (vl-subent-ssadd [fsplist [ss]]) (vl-subent-ssmemb [fsplist [ss]]) (vl-subent-ssdel [fsplist [ss]])
The (getfiled) function now honors flag value 32 for an open file dialog request. Previously that flag was only honored for a save file dialog request.
SR142670
Added support for (getvar "LISPSYS") and (setvar "LISPSYS" 0/1/2) which allows to use UTF-8 (without BOM header) encoded Lisp files. It is strongly suggested to always save a UTF-8 file, including the BOM header (most editors allow this).
SR140847
Fixed a misbehavior of (vla-SetText) for table cells, not properly re-assigning plain text value for a cell value.
SR141339
Fixed implementation of ExpressTools API function (acet-block-make-anon) to provide compatible behaviour.
SR141481
Fixes a V22.2 regression: (vla-put-XScaleFactor) (vla-put-YScaleFactor) (vla-put-ZScaleFactor) did not properly scale the attributes of BlockReferences.
SR141720
Improved BLADE to operate properly under LISPINIT=0 condition.
Improved stability, and made changes to better ensure correct behavior when BricsCAD's Lisp engine, running client Lisp code, is involved in multi-threaded operations (i.e., via the Lisp Reactor system).
SR133756SR134572
Fixed a performance problem that could occur in large Lisp files containing many "\\U+nnnn" Unicode character descriptions.
SR146133
Fixed a problem with the (command "_dtext" ...) sequence: the text entity vanished during the command execution; now the text remains visible, as intended.
SR145341
Fixed the (vla-get/put-textbackgroundfill) function for MLeader entities. The function now performs as expected, and no longer toggles the 'BackgroundColorOn' property.
SR144053
Improved compatibility for (vla-fieldcode) function: it now returns the text value of Text and MText, if no field is assigned.
SR144626
Improved compatibility for the (vl-exit-with-error) function: when issued from non-VLX (normal) user space, this function finishes Lisp processing without delivering its error status and without a displayed error message.
SR145150
A repeated lisp (C:XXX) command now repeats as the plain command name instead of incorrectly using the C:XXX form.
SR144989
Added new LISP BIM functions to query and edit BIM classifications based on their string names:(bim:get-bimtype-byname ent T/NIL),(bim:set-bimtype-byname ent bimType T/NIL),(bim:is-classified-byname ent bimType T/NIL),(bim:get-all-classified-byname bimType T/NIL),(bim:get-all-usedclassifications-byname T/NIL),(bim:get-all-classifications-byname T/NIL).
Added new Lisp interface for Mechanical Component definitions & instances.
SR95815
Fixed a lockup problem when more than 2 (nested) DCL dialogs are opened, and Lisp code triggers an error from the outermost DCL handler function.
SR144646
Fixed a long-time standing issue, running Lisp based commands: under certain circumstances, dialog-based commands (i.e., QUIT) remain in commandline mode, while the command dialog should appear.
SR144458
Improved compatibility for VLAX-LDATA strings containing Unicode characters, when saved in dwg file.
SR145333
LISP/BRX Fixes the processing of a selection set provided by Lisp or BRX code: the original selection set is no longer modified by native commands. This ensures compatible behaviour and logic.
SR140754
Improved compatibility of (ssget ...) and acedSSGet() using invalid selection modes (i.e. combinations with colon mode ":L" should return an error).
SR135956
Improved compatibility of entmake() for AcDbAttributeDefinition to properly read DXF data sequences where AcDbEntity-level properties are (mis-)placed in section of derived levels.
SR139617
Fixed (entmod) / acdbEntMod() for annotative MLeader entities : context data for the default annotative context is now properly updated.
