Vaidas KitoxToolset

KitoxToolset Upgraded to v7 and from now is supported for Bricscad ( http://www.kitox.com/downloads/KitoxToolset.zip ) You can ask me, what's new? Nothing :)

My point of view was always dedicated to "must work with every A# release". It still must work on AutoCAD 2000 and from now on Bricscad V9 Classic… Continue

Deelip Menezes ODA and Bricsys Cooperate

Bricscad V10, the latest version of the AutoCAD clone developed by Belgian CAD software developer Bricsys cannot read AutoCAD 2010 DWG files. As a result it cannot do a lot of things that AutoCAD 2010 can do. Why? Because it is based on DWGdirect version 2.6. Just to give you an idea how old version 2.6 is, I… Continue

Deelip Menezes Jeff Ray on Settlement with Autodesk

I just wrapped up my one-on-one meeting with SolidWorks CEO Jeff Ray. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss (to the extent that we could) the recent settlement that SolidWorks had with Autodesk on the law suit regarding DWG, orange rectangles and a bunch of other related stuff. The settlement is confidential. So I knew that I would not be able to learn much more than what was available in the public domain. This is how the chat went: Deelip: From what I gather SolidWork… Continue

Daniel Bricscad and Lisp reactors

Since Bricscad's lisp engine supports reactors, why not use them? What are reactors? Well they are call back functions that "react" when an event occurs such as a command or a new document is opened. In this example I will setup three reactors and their callback functions. They will react when a command begins, ends, or is canceled by executing their callback functions, that in this example will change the layer setting depending on the intercepted command, then set the layer back to its origina… Continue

One example is their BRX API, released just this year, has gown mature enough for monster applications like OpenDCL to compile without a… Continue
