Panel/tile placements in BricsCAD V23: How CADPower automates Quantity takeoff

The challenge Using and placing rectangular construction elements is perhaps the most common requirement for a designer. The key challenge is to be able to place a tile or panel quickly and be able to edit them easily and create quantity and cost estimates from the same. Getting the quantity info into Excel is the mst time-consuming task. The existing manual methods The existing methods are manual and unorganized. Panels may be drawn as closed polylines and the area created manually as text. They are copied and pasted into Excel manually and areas added up laboriously. This causes errors and omissions, which are hard to find. Why this must change The GoTo market time is falling in the construction industry. Customers want pricing and quantity options based on alternative materials and approaches. We need efficient techniques and automation to enable the software to deliver more. Customers demand predictably cost analysis and alternative options before signing on with a design. CADPower automation is the solution for this. The CADPower way to automation CADPower is an affordably priced addon to AutoCAD and BricsCAD. With just a small investment in this addon, you can realize several improvements in your CAD workflow.

Migrating to a new CAD Platform from AutoCAD

Are you migrating to a new CAD Platform from AutoCAD? Since the time Open Design Alliance (ODA), has made Autodesk’s .DWG available to the open forum it has opened opportunity for new software vendors to provide innovative solution on .DWG to the engineering design industry. Now that the industry has plenty options to choose CAD Software including free CAD tools to the professional CAD Platforms which provide AutoCAD compatibility with modern drafting and modelling tools at real affordable price. Companies which are part of the ODA Community Autodesk, IntelliCAD, ZWCAD, Bentley Systems, Dassault Systems, Solidworks, Trimble, Bricsys, GstarCAD, Hexagon, Grabert, Graphisoft, Tekla, ESRI, CADmatic & Many More. Migrations Challenges Now that there are plenty alternative CAD Platforms for various disciplines be it for the Architectural Engineering, Mechanical, Construction, Manufacturing Electrical Plumbing, Civil design Interior Design industry, they have AutoCAD trained team who face challenges migrating to a new platform, many a times the convenience of new platform can be difficult for a team which is working on tight schedule during which they need familiar keyboard shortcuts mouse right click tools, CAD users appreciate productivity tools which helps them to be more productive not just an AutoCAD alternative platform. After interacting with 1000s of CAD Users, we have bridged the gap by tools which has been helping AutoCAD and alternative CAD Users with 400+ productive tools which help to automate repetitive task and reduce the drafting time substantially it works on AutoCAD / BricsCAD / ZWCAD / ARES Commander.
