Streamline Your CAD Management with BricsCAD and 12d Synergy

BricsCAD and 12d Synergy offer your design team a governed CAD environment with options to automate title blocks, full check-in/check-out history on files with a clear audit trail, all without drastically changing how you work.

Why it matters

Spend Less Time Managing Drawings and More Time Delivering Projects

12d Synergy runs inside BricsCAD, so your team keeps control of every file and version without leaving the drawing they're working in.

CAD File Icon

Get Hours Back Every Week

Title block updates, spreadsheet tracking and clunky LISP routines eat into valuable design time. 12d Synergy takes that admin off your team inside BricsCAD, so the day goes to drafting instead of file management.

Collaboration Icon

Never Lose Work to a Clash

12d Synergy's check-in/check-out prevents team members from overwriting each other's files and clearly shows who has what open, eliminating version confusion.

Audit Trail Icon

Track Every Change

Every check-out, edit and publish gets logged as it happens. If a drawing is ever disputed, you have the full history to point to instead of guessing through email and local drives.

"When we discovered that 12d Synergy integrated with BricsCAD, it was a major advantage. The integration streamlined CAD management by managing Xrefs, title blocks, and PDF publishing within BricsCAD, ensuring version rollback to revert to previous drawing states and creating a seamless workflow between BricsCAD and 12d Synergy."

FAQ

Common Questions From Design Teams

The integration lives directly in the BricsCAD ribbon. You can open files, check in and out, manage references, and publish drawings without ever leaving your CAD environment.

No, BricsCAD stays exactly as it is. The integration adds a 12d Synergy panel to your ribbon that connects your drawings to a governed CDE. Your team keeps working the way they always have, just with better version control and audit trails running in the background.

When a team member checks out a file, it's locked so no one can overwrite it. Others can still open it in read-only mode. Once it's checked back in, the new version is saved automatically with a full history.
