How to check if your BricsCAD Communicator is properly installed and running correctly?

Please go to your Help -> License Manager and check your license status. You can see if the Communicator product is activated for trial or not.

If it is not activated, click on the “Activate trial” button”. The below screen is an example of how it looks. Mine looks little different because it is already activated. Your screen should offer the “Activate” button if not already activated.

Once it is activated, you can start File -> Import or File -Export and you should see the additional formats for import and export. This is an indication that ‘Communicator’ is running. There are no other user-interfaces for Communicator. It just imports and exports several CAD formats into BricsCAD.

You can control the behavior of the imported and exported geometry from Communicator using the SETTINGS command of BricsCAD. There is a separate section for all the Communicator commands as shown in the below screen.
