In a drawing you can create a variety of different entity types. Drawing entities can be very simple such as lines, circles, arcs, points and rays or complex such as polylines, splines and planes. Apart from 2D entities you can also create 3D surface entities or 3D solids in BricsCAD.
To further complete your drawing BricsCAD provides a series of tools to add text, hatching and dimensions.
To create an entity you can choose between selecting the command in the Draw menu, using the tools on the Draw, Draw 3D and Solids toolbars or typing the command in the command bar.
When you use a tool or a drawing command, the program prompts you to enter coordinate points, such as endpoints or insertion points. You can enter the points or distances either using a mouse or by typing coordinate values in the command bar. As you draw, BricsCAD also displays a context-sensitive prompt menu with appropriate additional options for the type of entity you are drawing.
New entities are created on the current layer, using the current color, linetype and lineweight.
