Key features of nanoCAD

User interface

User interface

nanoCAD is built to feel familiar to any experienced CAD user, with an interface similar to other popular CAD systems. This seamless design allows users to quickly get up to speed—no need for extensive retraining. The layout, from drawing spaces to command lines and menu icons, is intuitive and easy to navigate. You can effortlessly toggle between the modern ribbon or classic CAD interface. Plus, nanoCAD’s visual interface editor lets you customize nearly every aspect and transfer settings across workstations with ease.

Dynamic input

Dynamic input

Dynamic input allows you to adjust the dimensions & sizes of drawing elements without having to interact with the command line. It provides heads-up drafting by combining pointer input, dimension input, & dynamic prompts. This feature is useful for both creating and modifying objects, making it much easier to work with your drawings.

IFC support

IFC support

nanoCAD lets you import IFC files into DWG documents, enabling operations on BIM objects, like generating reports. With improved 3D navigation tools, adaptive zoom, camera rotation, and better performance for complex models, it becomes a powerful IFC viewer for DWG and BIM files.

Tool palettes

Tool palettes

Tool palettes provide quick and convenient access to frequently used commands and blocks. Organizations can create custom sets of standard blocks, hatches, and scripts, then deploy them across all workstations, allowing users to access them with just one click.

Drawing comparison

Drawing comparison

nanoCAD helps you identify differences between two similar drawings in model space, detecting any objects that have been added, modified, or removed during comparison.

Powerful excel-style table editor

Powerful excel-style table editor

nanoCAD’s table editor outshines competitors with its robust database-like features, allowing tables to embed macros and formulas directly within cells.

Point clouds

Point clouds

nanoCAD allows you to import point clouds into drawings, letting you select specific regions via the Import dialog. You can then create and modify clouds using sections and clips.
