Intuitive Interface: The interface of nanoCAD has been described as intuitive by users, especially for those with previous experience in managing CAD tools. This positive aspect makes tasks easier to perform and has been mentioned by multiple reviewers.
We use it to manage and clean up, edit, and create cad files on a daily basis. We make layouts and print on large format paper as well. It's very easy to make 2d floor plans with it. It lets you delete layers in layer manager, which others do not. It's easy to teach new users on it and set up their templates. When installing updates, it lets you merge your existing personal user settings into the new update with no extra actions needed.
Pros
It is user friendly
It allows to delete unwanted layers unlike AutoCAD.
It doesn't require updates every year.
It is easy to train new users and install is easy as well.
Cons
It lacks some functions that AutoCAD has, but for the price, it could be worth it on your end.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is great when cleaning up CAD files and allowing for 3rd party add-ins. It allows you to delete used layers. It would be nice if it saved to smaller file sizes when saving as an older DWG. It is easy to scale drawings and make floor plan layouts. It would be nice if it would pick up the default units that I set for my preference when opening up a converted file from pdf.
I use NanoCAD to review drawings for the new changes we are doing to our equipment. Also, add new design ideas and model draft to then convert into stl for part printing. The ease of use with the convenience of having all the tools in other CAD programs makes the experience even better.
Pros
Easy to use
Great for Drafting
Opens all CAD files from other systems
Same commands as other CAD programs
Cons
3d Designs
Rendering
Likelihood to Recommend
NanoCAD can make you job easier for managing drawings with computers that are not fitted with high end processors. It does not use as many resources as other programs which makes it simple to use. It lacks the ability to render 3d object or to import or create 3d models.
