CAD BricsCAD Drawing - DWG File Format and Conversion

BricsCAD by Bricsys is a leading CAD software platform known for its powerful drafting, modeling, and automation capabilities. It provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional CAD solutions, offering full native compatibility with the latest DWG file format. Designed for professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC industries), BricsCAD combines familiar workflows with advanced technologies such as AI-driven drawing assistance and 3D direct modeling tools.

Key Features of BricsCAD Software

  • Full DWG Compatibility: Native support for the latest DWG versions ensures seamless collaboration with AutoCAD and other industry-standard CAD applications.
  • AI-Powered Drawing Automation: Accelerate design workflows with BricsCAD Shape and AI-based machine learning tools for smarter, faster drafting.
  • Direct 3D Modeling: Push-pull intuitive editing tools allow for rapid conceptual design, 3D modeling, and solid editing without complex commands.
  • Customization and Automation: Extend BricsCAD functionality using LISP routines, C++, .NET APIs, and ObjectBRX programming interfaces.

BricsCAD Drawing Conversion and Data Integration

Expand your BricsCAD capabilities with Automesher Application and Automapki Application add-ons. These tools enable direct import and export of 3D models and geospatial data in industry-standard formats:

  • 3D Model Support: Import and export STL, SKP (SketchUp), OBJ, and other popular 3D model formats directly into BricsCAD.
  • GIS Data Integration: Work with SHP (ESRI Shapefiles), KML (Google Earth files), and more to integrate geographic information into your CAD drawings.

Supercharge your workflow with Automesher and Automapki - the essential BricsCAD plug-ins for connecting 3D modeling and geospatial data, ensuring your designs are more powerful, flexible, and globally compatible.


SHP ESRI Shapefile (SHP) Format

The ESRI Shapefile (SHP) is a widely-used geospatial vector data format developed by Esri for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications. SHP files are designed to efficiently store the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features like points, lines, and polygons in a simple, compact format for easy mapping and spatial analysis.

Key Capabilities of SHP Files

  • Geometric Data: SHP files store vector geometries including points, polylines, and polygons - each linked to a defined spatial reference system for accurate global positioning.
  • Attribute Data: Each spatial feature carries descriptive attribute data (such as names, population, or land use type), stored in a corresponding .DBF (database) file alongside the SHP geometry file.
  • Multiple File Structure: A complete SHP dataset typically includes three mandatory files:
    • .shp - stores geometry (the shapes).
    • .shx - an index file linking spatial data.
    • .dbf - a database file for attribute data.
  • Open Standard: Widely supported across most GIS software including QGIS, ArcGIS, and AutoCAD-based solutions.

Convert SHP Files to DWG and CAD Formats

Integrate geospatial data into your CAD workflows effortlessly with our Automapki Application. Compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD, Automapki allows you to:

  • Import SHP shapefiles directly into DWG model space while maintaining geospatial accuracy.
  • Export CAD drawing elements (DWG entities) back to SHP format for seamless sharing with GIS platforms.

Enhance your design projects by combining GIS-based mapping data with CAD precision. Try our solution to streamline SHP to DWG workflows!
