Drawing Recovery Manager
Recover Drawings After a Crash
Crashes happen, but don’t panic you can recover a drawing after a crash! In BricsCAD®, the Drawing Recovery Manager is a panel that displays a list of drawing files that can be recovered after a crash. It automatically detects files that were open at the time of the failure, including .dwg, .dwt, and .dws
How to use BLOCKIFY in BricsCAD
BricsCAD V23 Features
The BLOCKIFY command searches a drawing for identical sets of entities (2D or 3D) and replaces them with block references. It also matches these to any existing block definitions already in the drawing. The advantage of CAD blocks over copied geometry is that blocks dramatically reduce the size of a drawing and, as a result, increase performance.
