PHOENIX, AZ, Aug 12, 2014 – Nanosoft announces nanoCAD Plus 6.0, the newest version of its DWG compatible CAD application software.
Created by a team of veteran CAD developers, nanoCAD is optimized for production design and drafting, and high-performance platform CAD application development. It uses the same industry standard technology for reading and writing DWG format files that is used by most of the world’s top CAD, CAM, and CAE developers, and is compatible with DWG files created as far back as 1990.
nanoCAD is full-featured professional-grade CAD software, used by over a half million architects, engineers, designers, and drafters around the world, to design and support billions of dollars of manufacturing and infrastructure projects.
nanoCAD may be the only CAD program actually designed, from the beginning, to solve a business problem. One of the little secrets of the CAD world is that most users of AutoCAD (the most popular program for 2D design and drafting) are perfectly happy and productive using old (and sometimes very old) versions of the software. All things remaining the same, even expert users tend to stick with the version they’re most familiar with, but the need for additional seats, interoperability with newer versions of DWG, and compatibility with newer computers and versions of Windows can force the issue of upgrading. Yet, budget is an issue: At $1,680 per year for a single seat of AutoCAD 2015 (the current subscription and basic support price), upgrading can be a hard sell.
nanoCAD Plus 6.0 is designed to provide a smooth migration path for existing AutoCAD users, and is priced to reflect budget reality: At only $180 per year per seat, including priority support and updates ($220 per year for a floating network license), companies can buy as many seats as they need, rather than only as many as they can afford.
nanoCAD Plus 6.0 key features
- Industry standard interface and command structure: Familiar and comfortable for users of many other compatible CAD applications, including AutoCAD and AutoCAD-LT.
- Fully capable: Far from being a stripped-down crippleware program, nanoCAD Plus includes a rich set of tools for creating and editing 2D/3D objects. It is production proven in demanding applications.
- Advanced tools for pro users: Advanced layer management, batch plotting, hybrid raster/vector editing with raster snap, network license management, and more.
- Completely customizable. nanoCAD Plus’s scripting engine lets users write macros using Visual Basic Script, Java Script or any other scripting language supported by Microsoft Windows as well as built-in LISP. For more serious development, nanoCAD supports multiple APIs, including NRX for C++ and .NET (similar to ARX), and the MultiCAD API for C++ and .NET, a revolutionary development tool to create binary compatible applications that will run not just in nanoCAD, but also in other compatible CAD systems, including AutoCAD. Users may join the nanoCAD Developer Club, at no cost.
- Support for OEM licensing: Software developers or manufacturers wishing to build vertical applications on top of nanoCAD Plus can get excellent OEM licensing terms.
- Priority support and updates: nanoCAD Plus subscriptions include priority support, via email, their customer forums, and their help-desk. nanoCAD Plus subscriptions also include updates, with early access to bug-fixes, and all major and minor product updates.
- Unbeatable total cost of ownership: With nanoCAD Plus, there are no high-priced software license fees or extortionate annual maintenance and support contracts – just a simple all inclusive subscription, priced at $180/year ($220/year for a floating network license.)
