Bricsys announced the immediate availability of the BricsCAD V13.2 update for the Windows operating system. This release further extends the BricsCAD software with a native 64-bit version and with support for the 2013 .dwg format. It also improves project collaboration trough a built-in connection with the cloud-based Chapoo services.
“With BricsCAD V13.2 we bring a remarkable upgrade to market," said Erik De Keyser, Bricsys CEO. "Besides support for the 2013 .dwg format we also delivered the long awaited 64 bit version of the software, which was a top priority for many of our corporate volume customers."
The V13.2 major upgrade includes more than 20 new and improved features such as:
- 64-bit version
Version 13.2 introduces a native 64-bit version that provides for flexible handling of large drawings and the rendering of complex designs through maximum memory usage. The 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x64) versions can be installed side by side and will operate as separate applications. - Support for 2013 .dwg format
BricsCAD V13.2 now also supports the latest .dwg format as used by AutoCAD® 2014. - Improved cloud connectivity and project collaboration
BricsCAD V13.2 integrates a smart connection with the cloud-based Chapoo Free or Premium Services. Chapoo Free provides for casual document sharing, Chapoo Premium for complete project collaboration. The Chapoo connection tool automatically recognizes xrefs and keeps track of them in the cloud. For a demo please visithttp://youtu.be/KgOJ0l6jv0Q.
