Project created using nanoCAD and saved as *.dwg file could be easily opened and edited in any CAD application supporting *.dwg which in turn makes nanoCAD perfect tool for project collaboration and sharing.
Ultimate design tool. nanoCAD includes all necessary tools required for basic design and allows creating and editing 2D and 3D vector primitives, texts, tables, blocks, graphical technical documentation display and print settings using either a model or a sheet.
Open API and application development
nanoCAD has a traditional CAD application programming interface (API) that allows developing independent nanoCAD based applications and additional automation modules. Internal data structure and a high quality of the basic platform make it possible for a developer to build an application of any complexity. Access to the nanoCAD developer club is granted after the registration at the community site.
Utilities and tiny applications could be built using ActiveX Automation scripts (Java-script, VB-script etc.)
