A powerful DWG platform for all your everyday 2D drafting.

BricsCAD Lite is a professional 2D drafting and documentation solution for draughtspeople, engineers, architects, design offices and corporate CAD teams.

Its familiar command structure makes it easy to adopt. Because it works with your existing DWG archives, templates, blocks, sheet sets and LISP routines, you don’t have to rebuild everything when you switch.

  • 01Drafting, detailing, dimensioning and annotation
  • 02Block, xref, layer and sheet set management
  • 03Printing, PDF output and standards-compliant documentation
Features

Don’t just finish 2D drawings. Manage them more efficiently.

BricsCAD Lite combines the core tools needed for professional drawing production with smart editing capabilities.

2D drafting and detailing

Create production-ready drawings with lines, polylines, arcs, hatches, dimensions, text and annotation tools.

Native DWG compatibility

Open, edit and share existing DWG files without conversion, and keep data continuity with stakeholders.

2D blocks and references

Standardise repeated details with blocks, and keep drawings controlled and up to date with external references.

Sheet set management

Organise multi-sheet drawing sets and sheet information, and make project deliverables more consistent.

Annotation and printing

Apply scale, text style, dimensioning and output settings to your company standards, and manage PDF and print output.

Automation with LISP

Make use of your existing LISP routines or build company-specific automation for repetitive tasks.

  • 03Cut repetitive work with LISP and smart editing tools.
  • 04Produce delivery-ready documents with dimensions, annotation, sheets and plotting.
Who is it for?

For every team where 2D production is central.

BricsCAD Lite is a strong choice for individual users doing professional 2D drafting and for corporate teams producing standard 2D drawings.

Architecture and design offices

Manage plans, sections, elevations, construction details and sheets in a native DWG environment.

Engineering teams

Produce discipline-specific drawings, details and revisions to shared CAD standards.

Contractors and technical offices

Prepare site revisions, shop drawings and handover documents quickly and traceably.

Corporate CAD users

Scale cost and licence structure in a controlled way for teams that only need 2D.

Lite or Pro?

Only 2D? Choose Lite. Need 3D? Choose Pro.

If you do professional 2D drafting and documentation, Lite is the right choice. If you need 3D modelling, point clouds, surveying or advanced application support, consider BricsCAD Pro.

  • Lite and Pro: native DWG and professional 2D drafting
  • Lite and Pro: 2D blocks, sheet sets, annotation and printing
  • Lite and Pro: LISP routines
  • Pro only: 3D modelling tools
  • Pro only: point cloud and surveying tools
  • Pro, depending on the app: compiled third-party applications
Migrating with MechSoft
