​Move and Copy Guided commands work smarter than regular Move and Copy. This means that:
- you don’t have to edit the original and new relevant geometry
- objects can automatically align to new geometry
- you can enter distances dynamically
- you can erase objects and quickly edit the relevant geometry...

​​The Blockify command automatically creates a block from the selected objects, finds the same geometry in the drawing, and replaces it with this block. This extremely effective command is very easy to use and can speed up your workflow.

​To avoid selecting your drawing template over and over again, you can preset it, so that New icon or + next to file tabs will always open new drawing with your settings. 

​Every time you launch BricsCAD, the BricsCAD Launcher shows up, where you have to select the desired workspace. You may skip this step, and make BricsCAD start up directly using the same workspace that was used last.

Purging your drawing of redundant content in BricsCAD is essential for your drawing hygiene – like brushing your teeth every day. Unused blocks and layers can cause the majority of problems in your drawing – large file size, long and unorganized layer list, etc. Content that won’t be used anymore should be removed from the drawing for faster and easier workflow...

To select an object that overlaps with another one, move your mouse cursor to these objects and keep pressing TAB key until the desired object highlights in dotted lines. Click to select it.

​Panels in BricsCAD provide quick access to various settings and libraries. They can remain opened while using other commands. Because they take up a lot od working space, they can be docked and stacked. BricsCAD beginners might find it difficult at first to manage all possible panel situations. These tips will make you an expert!

​Most probably you already know everything about the drawing units (or not). But have you noticed that dimensions in Properties are in different units than your drawing units? Or some are even displayed in two types of units? Well, Length Units are to blame (or not). Is it confusing (or not)?

Sometimes you need to add/remove a Polyline vertex to divide/reduce Polyline segments in BricsCAD. This can be a bit tricky, so pay extra attention to the CTRL key in the following procedure:
