A professional CAD platform based on the industry’s standard DWG format
nanoCAD platform is a professional-grade CAD platform for creating and editing 2D drawings and 3D models.
It utilizes the native DWG format for compatibility and requires no file translation. AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) specialists can automate construction drawings using parametric design utilities, IFC support, and a library of standard parts.
The platform is versatile and is designed to streamline any workflow.
Important: We offer a life time license!
- DWG Standard
- Efficient printing
- Advanced dimensioning functions
- Reusable blocks and references
- Dynamic input
- Tool palettes
- Sheet sets
- IFC support
- Powerful Excel-style table editor
- 2D/3D Point Clouds
- Drawing recovery, audit, and cleaning utilities for damaged files…and more!
nanoCAD offers flexible and affordable licensing options. You can choose between annual and perpetual licenses.
A 3-year subscription includes a perpetual (life time!) license with full support and upgrades.
nanoCAD also provides both workstation and network (floating) licensing options.
A workstation license is designated for use on a single computer, while network licenses offer the flexibility to be temporarily borrowed for specific devices as needed.

nanoCAD vs. AutoCAD
YES! A 1-year subscription of Platform nanoCAD 25 is almost
the same price as 1-month subscription of other CAD systems!
