A Fully Featured CAD Solution

nanoCAD serves as a versatile CAD platform engineered to meet the demands of professionals from multiple industries. Whether you need to create basic layouts or highly detailed drawings, nanoCAD supports projects of any complexity while adhering to global standards. Its proven track record spans fields including mechanical engineering, architectural design, building planning, site development, and landscape architecture. By offering a user-friendly interface, comprehensive toolset, native support for DWG files, and reliable technical assistance, nanoCAD stands out as an optimal choice for diverse design needs.

Native DWG Editing Capabilities

nanoCAD works directly with the standard DWG file format widely recognized throughout the CAD industry, including platforms like AutoCAD. From its inception, nanoCAD was developed to utilize DWG files natively, eliminating the need for file conversions or translations. The software also offers full compatibility with advanced DWG objects, such as 3D point clouds and IFC models, ensuring seamless workflows and accurate data preservation.

Open API Available for Developers

nanoCAD provides a free, AutoCAD-compatible API that empowers developers to customize and build CAD applications tailored to their specific workflows. This flexibility allows seamless integration of automated calculations, optimization of design processes, and connectivity to external databases. Users can also run pre-existing add-ins developed by the nanoCAD developer community. The API supports a wide range of programming languages and technologies, such as C,
C++, C#, .NET, COM, LISP, VBScript, JavaScript, and command scripting, enabling diverse development possibilities.

Familiar User Interface for Effortless Transition

nanoCAD features an intuitive user interface that is instantly recognizable to anyone with experience in other DWG-based CAD systems. Its screen arrangement and command logic are crafted for ease of use and quick adaptation, ensuring users can immediately feel comfortable and productive—even if they haven’t used CAD software recently. This makes nanoCAD especially beneficial for professionals in mechanical engineering, architectural planning, building design, site development, and landscape architecture, allowing them to get started with minimal learning curve.

Annual Software Enhancements

nanoCAD receives yearly updates, introducing fresh features and improvements with each release. The latest version, nanoCAD 24, offers enhanced tools for designing, reviewing, and collaboration. Its functionality is extended through five optional modules: 3D Solid Modeling, Construction, Mechanica, Raster, and Topoplan. The 3D Solid Modeling module lets users leverage both 2D and 3D parametric constraints for turning individual components into complex assemblies. The Raster module streamlines the editing and conversion of scanned drawings to precise CAD formats. For those working on land development or earthworks projects, the Topoplan module simplifies the planning and management of topographical tasks.
