Softdesk type stuff for Bricscad ? (AutoCAD alternates..)
Softdesk type stuff for Bricscad ? (AutoCAD alternates..)
(OP)
I've dumped AutoDesk because the cost is simply not worth what you get. I would rather pay myself to do things by hand than pay AutoDesk $10,000 or whatever to do them for me. That said, I wouldn't mind finding a piece of simple, cheap software that can build surfaces, do cut/fill, and possibly run road templates, in the style of Ye Olde Softdesk 8. I don't really need any other functionality than that.
I'm currently using Bricscad, which is fantastic, light, stable, and runs wonderfully. I'd like to stick to this cad software if possible.
Ideas?

I like TurboCad (love it) - could teach you in ten minutes how to use it. You can download a "free" copy from them or buy an old copy on E-bay - not sure that is legal - but some are still in cellophane - so I would assume this is OK??
But I still LOVE version 11 - and they are on V18 now. Does what I need.

I keep plugging Bricscad because it is one of the half dozen programs I use that I really like... I have no connection to the company.

...we have Geo-Plus, a nice Civil Engineering and Surveyor applications that works well with Bricscad V12. Other applications are available from Geo-Tools at very reasonnable price. All these applications are listed in our application catalog.

And yes, Bricscad is a fantastic program. It's identical to AutoCAD in every way that season ACAD users need it to be, but cleaner, faster, doesn't crash, not a memory hog, etc. Big fan.
