That page definitely needs an update in order to provide a fair comparison. It’s important to note that the Bricsys comparison page has issues while the BricsCAD columns are up to date, the AutoCAD columns are a year behind. It’s strange that you now need to visit a competitor’s page to get detailed information about an Autodesk product, but in the CAD world these are strange days indeed. If you want to get a reasonable idea of what’s going on with AutoCAD for Mac’s deficiencies, you can check out my post about the 2017 release that lists the missing features.Īlternatively, you can have a look at the equivalent Bricsys comparison page, which you should probably do anyway before spending any money. AutoCAD for Mac page is now a shadow of its former useful self, devoid of all detail. You may have noticed that Autodesk is now too embarrassed to list the differences between the Windows and Mac versions of AutoCAD on its web site. If you stop paying, despite having paid 3.2 times as much for your software over the five year period, you’re left with nothing. That sort of flexibility is long gone at Autodesk, where subscription means no pay, no play.
#Bricscad for mac os x upgrade#
You can change your mind and get back on the upgrade train later, if you like. It’s worth noting that if you want to stop paying Bricsys, you’re left with the latest version to use indefinitely. Given recent history, that’s probably close to the truth for Bricsys prices. I have assumed that there will be no price increases over the next five years. I have excluded bargain-basement BricsCAD Classic because it lacks the full set of programming and 3D modeling tools. No temporary discounts have been included. The BricsCAD prices therefore include maintenance (it’s optional) the Autodesk prices are for subscription (not optional). US prices are shown here for a single standalone license over five years, inclusive of the cost of upgrades. That’s not just opinion, it can be supported objectively. It’s so much more capable than the perpetually half-baked AutoCAD for Mac that I struggle to comprehend why anybody with the choice would even contemplate the notably inferior and seriously overpriced Autodesk offering. Here’s the download link and here are the release notes.īricsCAD V18 is an excellent DWG 2018-based CAD application, and the Mac version lacks little in comparison to the Windows version. Bricsys has just released BricsCAD V18 for Mac.
