New features for the Linux version of BricsCAD V13 are similar to the ones released for the Microsoft Windows operating system last October, and include:
- Assembly Modeling to model complex products
- Kinematic Analysis allows for moving or rotating parts of a model to solve real-time forward and inverse kinematic problems
- A series of new commands, functions, dialogs and features for improved 2D drafting.
