Why Engineering Teams Consider nanoCAD
Native DWG Workflow
Open, edit and save DWG files without converting your drawings.
nanoCAD Platform supports DWG versions R11 through 2018, together with layers, blocks, xrefs, model/paper space, CTB/STB plot styles, SHX/TTF fonts, PDF import and batch plotting.
Familiar CAD Interface
Switch between ribbon and classic interfaces and customise aliases, menus, toolbars and other drafting settings.
Experienced CAD users can work in a familiar environment with minimal workflow disruption.
Powerful 2D Drafting Tools
Draft, edit, and document designs with precision using professional 2D CAD tools. From geometry and dimensions to layers, blocks, annotations, and layouts, nanoCAD gives you the tools for everyday engineering and technical drafting.
Automation & API Support
Use LISP with DCL, .NET, C++, JavaScript, VBScript and COM-based development capabilities.
nanoCAD also provides an ARX-like API to help developers adapt existing applications.
