nanoCAD

nanoCAD is a powerful CAD application that offers you all the tools you need to draft 2D technical plans and blueprints.

It displays a classic interface for an application of this kind. You can even say it very well resembles an earlier version of the popular AutoCAD application. All the tools that are often used are placed and organized into toolbars which you can freely rearrange to create the working environment that suits you best.

If you’re trying nanoCAD for the first time, it can get a bit overwhelming seeing as how it displays a very large number of tool icons. They can be a bit confusing at first but once you start using them, it takes you little time to learn them.

nanoCAD offers you a large number of precision tools that can speed up implementation and eliminate inaccuracies. You also get the well known and highly useful SNAP and OSNAP functions, as well as tracking lines.

With it you are able to create and edit vector graphics and complex elements. nanoCAD also provides you with viewports that enable you to work on models in both 2D and 3D modes. Creating a 3D mesh is a feature that is also implemented in this application.

If you find yourself working on a large project and you need the opinion of a colleague or his input in the project, nanoCAD allows you to save all your work in the widely used DWG format. This makes if very convenient and practical when other people use different applications that do support DWG files.

A feature that is most helpful but takes time to master and is mostly for advanced users it the use of the ‘Command Line’. It allows you to input commands, points, lines and numbers but also supports mathematical expressions.

In closing, nanoCAD is a very practical CAD application that provides you with basic and power-user features that are guaranteed to help you create the detailed plans you need.
