How to work with Isometric Drafting in nanoCAD

In this video, you will acquire the knowledge about new tools for creating isometric drawings. These drawings show three sides at the same time - left, top, right and look 3D but are in fact 2D.

• How to start a new isometric drawing
• Accessing commands for drawing isometric rectangles, circles, and arcs
• Setting up text styles and placing isometric text
• Setting up dimensions styles and placing isometric dimensions

How to work with Isometric Drafting in nanoCAD

nanoCAD 22 introduces interactive parametric arrays. Instead of specifying their look with a dialog box or at the command line, you now interact with them while drawing the array. In this video, you will acquire the knowledge about how to work with interactive array in nanoCAD.

How to place raster Images in nanoCAD drawings

In this video, you will acquire the knowledge about how to place raster images, like photographs, in drawings, and then use them as backgrounds or to trace over them or change them.

• ROpen command is used to place a raster image file in a drawing
• Understanding how to select images, and turn them off
• Adjusting the brightness and contrast of the image

How to insert Drawings in Drawings (About DWG References)

In this video, you will acquire the knowledge about how to insert Drawings in Drawings (About DWG References) Sometimes you need to reference other drawings, and nanoCAD lets you insert those other drawings in the one you are working with. This is called 'DWG references' or 'external references' or 'xref' for short.

• Using the XAttach command to attach an external drawing to the current one
• Editing the attached drawing and updating it
• Toggling the visibility of xrefs
• Removing xrefs form drawings by unloading them

How to view proxy entities with nanoCAD

nanoCAD supports DWG file format, which makes it possible to open and edit drawing files from many other CAD programs. An unique feature about DWG is that it can define custom objects that are unique to one program. When you open such a drawing in nanoCAD, it allows displaying of custom objects as proxies - entities can be seen but cannot be edited very much. In this video, you will acquire the knowledge about how to work with proxy objects:

• Identifying which objects are proxy objects
• Changing the look of proxy objects with the ProxyShow variable

Creating and Working with Groups in nanoCAD

In this video, you acquire the knowledge about how to create and work with groups in nanoCAD. nanoCAD has several ways of working with groups of entities, and one of them is called "groups." Groups essentially are named selection sets. In this video, you learn how to create and insert blocks in drawings:

• Using the Group command to make a group of entities
• Understanding the difference between "selectable" and "uselectable" modes
• Using groups in commands
• Eliminating groups

How to Work with Attributes in Blocks

In this video, you acquire the knowledge about how to add attributes to and extract data from blocks:

• Adding attributes to blocks
• Filling data into attributes
• Editing attribute data etc.

How to Edit and Sharing Blocks with nanoCAD

In this video, you acquire the knowledge about how to edit and share blocks with other drawings:

• Using the Block Editor to make changes to blocks
• Editing blocks in-place
• Sharing blocks between drawings through the Clipboard etc.

How to create and insert blocks with nanoCAD

In this video, you acquire the knowledge about how to create and insert blocks in drawings. A block is a symbol that you utilize a lot, for example a door or a bolt.

• Using the Block command to make a desk symbol from a rectangle
• Inserting the desk block in the drawing with the Insert command
