Parts Library (BricsCAD Only)
To assist with 3D modeling, BricsCAD includes a library of parametric parts. Choose a part from the
tree in the Mechanical Browser, adjust the size in the Properties pane, and then drag the part into
the drawing, where additional prompts appear in the command bar to insert and rotate the part.

TIP Tool palettes operate similarly in both CAD programs, except that BricsCAD stores them in BTP files (short
for “BricsCAD tool palettes”), whereas AutoCAD stores tool palette definitions in ATP files (short for “AutoCAD
tool palettes”) . Both file types use XML as the format. See chapter 4 on customizing Tool Palettes in BricsCAD.
CONTENT BROWSER PANEL (BRICSCAD ONLY)
(new to V17) The Content Browser panel shows a tree view of drawings found in folders (as
specified by you). CLick the Add Folder button to select folders on your computer, on networked
computers, and cloud storage services, such as Dropbox.
