Complimentary 1-Year CADPower With BricsCAD from DESIGNSENSE

There is a distinct (and huge) advantage in buying BricsCAD from Designsense Software in India!

Starting April 2023, we have started to bundle 1-year subscription to our CADPower software absolutely complimentary with every BricsCAD that you purchase from us!

And why did we announce this special privilege for our users?

At Designsense, we believe that the Indian Design industry needs to use automation and smarter tools to innovate and learn new drafting and design techniques for faster delivery of drawings. We are woefully behind our counterparts in Europe and Americas as far as using smart drawing techniques are concerned. CADPower is your quickest solution to achieve this goal.

Of course, we do have, in India, a bunch of mature design organizations at the top of the pyramid, who are following the best practices in CAD design automation, but a vast majority of our SME segment CAD users still churn out drawings by brute force manual and repetitive methods.

Our goal is to reach out to this segment and show them the new way Indian CAD design industry needs to follow. CADPower is our medium, platform and vehicle to make this happen for you. It is a general purpose productivity tool that can help you automate, reduce repetitive CAD work, and produce drawings and quantity take-off data that can cut down your delivery time.

And, it is a no-brainer that this will lead to faster projects turnarounds, better profits and predictable, accurate and consistent drawings.

Read on for a brief recap of some of the new tools that you probably never knew existed, and how these can help you automate and innovate in the DWG CAD platform.

Quantity take-off (BOM-BOQ)

This is one the high points of CADPower.

Create Bills of Materials / Quantity takeoff from your drawing

- - - - Create Bills of Materials / Quantity takeoff from your drawing.
      - Quickly generate Quantity-Cost-Time information from your drawings

Compute area under hatch, and create detailed reports (HATCHAREA)

The ability to generate an area report from your hatch patterns is a huge plus for many of us who rely on hatches to delineate and show significant portions of our design.

Not just the area table, but CADPower also provides you with the ability to generate cost and time estimates from your hatch pattern data.

- - - - Calculate area under hatch and create area/cost analysis table.
        Area and cost estimation tool for hatch – by layer, by color, by pattern

Compute area of closed polylines and export to Excel (CALCAREA)

Calculate area of closed boundaries and create area/cost analysis table.

Area and cost estimation tool for closed polygons

A new way to insert blocks: SMARTINSERT

The Smartest Block Insert tool was first built as a customized-program for a client, and we later acquired the rights to integrate the same in CADPower. It is a multi-purpose block insertion cum alignment tool, that also integrates with the EASYATT and move/rotate attributes tool that together form a perfect sympony of tools for placing fixtures and symbols on linear networks. This is a must-try tool if you are in the business of irrigation, telecom, gas, water, sewerage or similar utilities business.

- - - - AI-based rotation angle prediction for inserting symbols on a linear network.
      - Integrated EASYATT and MOVE/ROTATE attributes in one workflow

Multiple choice attribute editor (EASYATT)

If you are a power user of blocks with attributes, you cannot just live without this tool. With the help of simple INI files, you can define multiple sets of

- - - - Multiple-choice attribute editor (Smart Block Attributes)
      - Populate attributes with a pre-defined, configurable list

Count blocks based on scale factors (TILECOUNT)

Many engineering designs and structures are rectangular blocks, claddings, sheets and so on. With this tool, you can easily place them, size them and count them, all in one single command interface.

- - - - Lightning-fast quantity and cost estimation for engineers and architects.

Draw Construction Levels (LEVELIT)

LEVELIT is a popular Swiss add-on for AutoCAD and allows creation of levels in BricsCAD using pre-defined or user-defined level blocks. We have implemented identical functionality in BricsCAD via CADPower.

- - - Automatic levels annotation for your drawing

Polyline Segment labeling (SEGLABEL)

An all-weather favorite tool, segment labeling of polylines is required by almost every CAD designer at one time or the other.

- - - - Annotate polyline segments in innovative ways

Polyline Vertex labeling (VXLABEL)

An all-weather favorite tool, vertex labeling of polylines is required by almost every CAD designer at one time or the other.

- - - - Annotate polyline vertices in innovative ways.

Incrementing patterned text (TEXT COUNTER)

And this is our star performer in CADPower. The Text counter tool is a versatile tool to create incrementing, patterned text (or blocks with attributes). It can also handle suffixes and prefixes, range text creation, or automatically update series of text already created by this tool. No wonder, many a CADPower purchase is solely due to the time this tool can save most of the users.

- - - - Auto-incrementing text and attribute generation
