Migrating DWG Standards to BricsCAD Without Disrupting Production

Inventory the existing environment

List templates, plot styles, fonts, blocks, scripts, LISP routines, APIs and third-party extensions. Classify each item as reusable, replaceable or requiring validation.

Build a representative pilot

Select active drawings with external references, custom objects and demanding plotting requirements. Test normal production tasks and compare outputs with accepted baselines.

Train around differences

Familiar commands reduce transition effort, but teams still need guidance on interface choices, settings and revised automation. Capture issues in a shared migration register.

Release in stages

Move suitable teams or project types first, maintain a rollback plan and monitor exchange with external AutoCAD users. Confirm licensing and support conditions directly with Bricsys.
