Zooming on the B section and immediately we see an issue - the welding symbol intersect the dimension line and its alignment is wrong.įirst, we fix the intersection using the Grip Editor. To apply the load of the Mechanical 2D editor we must reopen the drawing.Īfter that, all the AutoCAD Mechanical ® symbols are read natively and can be edited.Īt this stage, you can review the drawing for any mistakes that may need correcting. This is a user preference setting that controls the demand loading of the Mechanical 2D editor.Īlso, in the settings, you can find the MECH2DSAVEFORMAT variable which controls the Mechanical 2d file version. In the middle of the Proxy information window, you will see a hyperlink that will guide you directly to the LOADMECHANICAL2D setting. Let's reopen the file and see what can be done in V22. If we close the window and hover over some special symbols, such as welding or the feature control frame it becomes clear they are proxies. You can see the details of this in the information field. It informs us that the drawing contains some AutoCAD Mechanical proxies. The first thing you'll see on the screen is the Proxy information window.

The first step is to open a drawing in BricsCAD. In the following blog, we'll walk you through some of the all-new improvements and show you how they'll increase your productivity when working with AutoCAD Mechanical ® symbols. In BricsCAD® Mechanical V22, we've increased AutoCAD Mechanical ® compatibility to make your workflows more streamlined and intuitive.
