nanoCAD 22 Platform

nanoCAD 22 Platform is a professional-grade CAD platform fully compatible with the industry’s DWG standard. It offers the standard user interface with a wide set of tools for 2D/3D drafting that can be extended with modules specific to the needs of professionals in engineering, architecture, and construction.

3D Solid Modeling module

3D Solid Modeling module extends the nanoCAD platform with direct editing and parametric modeling. The module also offers 3D constraints for mating parts into 3D assemblies and provides tools for sheet metal modeling.

Mechanica module

Mechanica module extends the nanoCAD platform with 2D and 3D mechanical design. Its parametric engine works with the included library of standard parts, and the many built-in calculators generate drawings quickly.

Construction module

Construction module extends the nanoCAD platform with drafting utilities suitable for parametric designs in architecture, engineering, and construction. Its IFC support and parametric libraries of standard parts help automate construction drawings.

Raster module

Raster module extends the nanoCAD platform with tools designed specifically for handling raster images, including very large ones. These tools import, correct, skew, convert, colorize, vectorize, and smart select raster images.

Topoplan module

Topoplan module extends the nanoCAD platform with digital terrain modeling. Surveyors can take advantage of tools that create and modify TINs, texture them with raster overlays, generate reliefs, and calculate volumes and areas.

nanoCAD Free

nanoCAD Free is the free version of nanoCAD that comes with a set of design tools for creating 2D engineering drawings and has no time limitations.

File comparison feature allows you to find the differences between the contents of the model space in two drawings: detect objects that have been modified, added, or removed in the compared drawings.

There are a number of limitations:

· Comparison is performed for the model space only.

· Only .dwg files are supported.

· The following types of objects are not supported: OLE objects, cameras, geo data, GIS objects from Map 3D, underlays (not dwg), raster images, and point clouds.

· Changes to the By Block and By Layer properties in nested blocks are not detected.

To compare files:

1. Start the Compare Files commto open Drawing Compare panel.

2. Click the button in the File1 field in the Select section. In the dialog that opens, select the first drawing file for comparison.

3. Do the same for the File2 field.

4. Set the Visibility, Color and Transparency settings for the compared files.

5. Click the Compare button.

A new document opens, displaying the result of comparing files based on the settings made.

You can control the display parameters of the comparison result both before the procedure and after displaying it on the screen.

Options:

Visibility

File 1	Controlling the visibility of objects belonging only to file 1.
File 2	Controlling the visibility of objects belonging only to file 2.
Shared	Controlling the visibility of objects belonging to both files.
Text	Show/hide the results of comparing text objects.
Hatch	Show/hide hatch comparison results.

Color

File 1	Color for objects belonging only to file 1.
File 2	Color for objects belonging only to file 2.
Shared	Color for objects belonging to both files.

Transparency

File 1	Transparency of displaying objects belonging only to file 1.
File 2	Transparency of displaying objects belonging only to file 2.
Shared	Transparency of displaying objects belonging to both files.
