Open API

nanoCAD offers developers an open API for creating modules and applications that extend its basic functionality and turn it into a specialized tool for the industry. Using an open API, you can perform various types of calculations, import and export data, integrate workflow tools, and perform many other tasks. This allows you to customize the nanoCAD platform to suit your specific needs and increase its efficiency and accuracy.

Enhanced Data Protection with Save File History

To prevent accidental data loss, nanoCAD introduces an improved save functionality that safeguards unsaved work in various common scenarios. This feature is particularly useful when users inadvertently skip saving multiple files during closure, save a drawing after unintentionally deleting critical geometry, or work without the ability to undo changes. In such situations, the new Save File History option acts as a safety net by retrieving the most recent versions of drawings from temporary storage, ensuring valuable work is not lost.
