Incremental (Partial) Saving
In an earlier release, we implemented incremental (partial) autosaving. In this release, we added
incremental saving to significantly accelerate the saving of large documents.
You manage incremental saving mode in the Save Documents section of the Options
dialog box.
Undo-Redo
This new release improves the undo and redo functions in several areas.
Named Steps
The name of the most recent operation (step) is displayed by the Undo and Redo
commands in the Edit menu of the classic interface.
Multiple Undo/Redo
The Quick Access toolbar adds flyout arrows to undo/redo several actions at once.
Note that you cannot access the action history list when a command is running (command
mode). In command mode, the buttons perform internal undo/redo operations, if any exist.
Performance Optimization
nanoCAD runs faster with this release.
Selection Sets
Performance is improved over earlier releases when making selection sets. In particular,
nanoCAD is now much faster at selecting objects from an existing selection set.
Text Objects
The graphical representation of text objects is optimized. As a result, the image regeneration speed is increased, while the amounts of memory used is reduced.

Blocks
Loading and regenerating files with large numbers of blocks is significantly faster.
Inserting Complex Objects
Inserting complex objects into model space is optimized, and cursor freezing is fixed.
Optimizing Frozen Layers
Documents load faster and react more quickly when they hold frozen layers.
Extremely Remote Objects Optimized
The problem of displaying distorted drawing elements at extremely large distances is gone. You no longer need to regenerate the drawing when zooming or panning to objects located far from
the current location.
New OLE Object Commands
We implemented new commands for working with OLE objects.
Then new INSERTOBJ (insert OLE object) command inserts linked or embedded OLE objects from other documents
Then new OLEOPEN (open OLE object) command opens the specified OLE object for editing with its source application. As a shortcut, you can double- click the OLE object in a drawing.
Then new OLELINKS (update OLE Links) command opens the Links dialog box for updating and modifying links of OLE objects.
Then new OLEUPDATEALLLINKS (update all OLE links) command updates all links for OLE objects in the document at the same time.
Scripts (.scr)
We added a new programming system called scripts. A script is a text file with the .scr extension containing a set of instructions that run in the nanoCAD command line. Each line of the file contains a nanoCAD command with optional parameters, or a link to another script file.
The following script processing commands are added to nanoCAD:
5
What’s New in nanoCAD Pro 11.0
Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
SCRIPT command loads the script file and then immediately executes the instructions described in the file sequentially.
SCRIPTCALL command runs a nested script.
RESUME command resumes the script, should it be paused.
RSCRIPT command repeats the last script.
Digital Signatures
Files used by nanoCAD, such as .dwg, .pdf, and .zip, can now be signed with a digital signature. We implemented two ways of signing:
An internal signature that is created when saving files
An external signature that can be assigned to any file
These are the commands for creating internal signatures:
The new DIGITALSIGN command chooses a certificate for digitally signing a file and then sets up signing while saving the file.
The SAVE command now creates an internal signature during file saving.
The new SIGVALIDATE command validates digital signatures of files.
Commands for creating external signatures:
The new SIGNCERTIFICATESCONTROL command chooses a digital certificate for digitally signing a file.
The new SIGNFILE command creates a file with external signature (“FileName.FileExtension.sig”) for any file.
The new VALIDATESIGN command validates the external signature of the specified file.
Splines
Splines have been enhanced in this release of nanoCAD.
New Spline Creation Method
The new release implements a second way of creating splines: by specifying control points.

Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
New Grips
To edit splines made with fit-point mode, a new type of grip (arrow-shaped) is implemented that
changes the direction of tangent vectors.
Rubberband Line
During spline creation, a temporary rubberband line is displayed on the screen from one fit point (or control point) to another. You can snap to this temporary dotted line.

Snap to First Point of a Spline
You can now snap to the spline’s start point.
Simplifying Splines
The new SIMPLIFYSPLINE command optimizes splines by changing their accuracy and the maximum number of control points.
Exporting Layouts
The new EXPORTLAYOUT command exports all visible objects from the current layout to the model space of the new drawing.
Changing Spaces
The new CHSPAСE command moves selected objects from model space in a layout viewport to paper space, as well as from paper space to a layout viewport.
Dimensioning
Obliquing Dimensions
The new DIMOBLIQUE (oblique dimension) command changes the obliquing angle of one or more dimensions.
Angular Ordinate Dimensions
The new DIMAORD (angle ordinate dimension) command creates angular ordinate dimensions.
Printing
nanoCAD now offers additional ways of producing output from drawings.
Internal Raster Plotter
We implemented a built-in raster plotter to export drawings in the following raster formats:

Internal DWF and DWFx Plotters
Built-in DWF (design Web format) and DWFx (compressed) plotters are now available.
Isometric View Printing
We improved the printing of isometric views when you specifying a plot area with a
rectangular frame.
Verification of third-party print settings
nanoCAD now verifies print settings made by third-party programs. When such settings are detected, the Print command displays a message:

Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
Improved Print Preview
You can now specify the number of copies to print in the Print Preview dialog box. (The option is not available when printing drawings to files.)
In addition, we made the following improvements to the print preview window:
Increased the display speed
Improved the image quality
Eliminated artifacts created when zooming, panning, and resizing the preview window and the Print dialog box.
Layers
The new LayerP (previous state of layers) command return the drawing to the previous
state of layer settings.
SHIFT and CTRL Selection
The logic of selecting a group of layers with the SHIFT and CTRL keys in the Layers dialog box is changed to match the method implemented by Windows:
CTRL+click adds individual layers to the selection set.
SHIFT+click adds contiguous layers to the selection set.
Layer Display Speed
The display speed of long lists of layers in the Layers dialog box is significantly increased, especially when the drawing holds hundreds of layers.
Check Standards
A new feature in nanoCAD is the ability to check that drawings match preset standards.
10

Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
Setting Standards
The new STANDARDSSETTINGS command opens the Standards Settings dialog box.
Status Bar
A new button for checking CAD standards is displayed in the status bar when a standards file is connected to the document.
A hyperlink in the standards balloons opens the appropriate dialog box.
Improved Snaps in 3D Space
The snap behavior in the three-dimensional space is improved for the following cases:
When the visual style is set to shaded faces and the new OSNAP3DTOP system variable
is turned on, then nanoCAD is limited to snapping only to the vertices of 3D objects under the cursor.
When the visual style is set to wireframe or the OSNAP3DTOP variable is disabled
(turned off), then you can snap to the vertices of all objects in the drawing.

Adding to Selections Improved
The new ADDSELECTED command now adds multileaders and dwg-style tables to selection
sets.
Ellipse Object Creation
The new PELLIPSE variable determines the entity from which ellipses are created:
When the value is 0, an ellipse object is created.
When the value is 1, the ellipse is made of a 2D polyline.
Editing Regions with Grips
You can now edit regions with grips. Click the round grip to switch grip-editing modes:
Center grip moves the region
Grips edit the contour of the region

Clearing Invisible Proxies
The new RMPROXY (remove proxy) command deletes proxy objects that do not have a
graphical representation in the current drawing.
Options
nanoCAD adds several options to the Options dialog box.
Command List Display Delay
The amount of time that elapses before the command completion list is shown can now be specified through the Options dialog: Command line > Use Autocomplete Additional Options > Completion list delay.
Object Fading on Locked Layers
To fade objects on locked layers, specify a fade value with the new LAYLOCKFADECTL system variable.
13

User Interface Changes
The new release of nanoCAD makes some changes to the user interface. In particular, in the
continuing overhaul of the UI, we reworked another package of icons. As well, a number of improvements were made to nanoCAD’s Graphite and Light visual themes.
Utilities in nanoCAD Menu
The application menu has a new command for displaying the properties of the current drawing,
as well as gets several utilities for auditing, checking, and working with documents.
These new commands are also added to the context menu of all document tabs:
Multiline Attribute Editing Panel
The new ATTIPE (in-place attribute editor) system variable changes the style of the Text Format panel that creates and edits multiline attributes.
When ATTIPE = 0, the short version of the formatting panel is displayed:
When ATTIPE = 1, the complete panel is shown:

Export Formats
nanoCAD now exports drawings to DWF, DWFx, STL and 3D PDF file formats.
The new NPC_EXPORT (export point cloud) command exports point clouds in the PLY (Polygon File Format) format. This format stores 3D scanner data with many properties, such as color, transparency, normals, and texture coordinates.
Material Editor
You now have greater possibilities for editing materials used by renderings:
The functions are separated into three panels: Material Browser, Material Editor, and Texture Editor.
You can now edit the texture parameters

3D Modeling Commands for creating and editing solid objects (3D solids) are added. These solids are compatible with most CAD systems using dwg-format.
Creating 3D Solids
New commands allow you to create basic solid-state primitives (box, cylinder, cone, sphere, pyramid, wedge, torus) using the commands launched from:
ribbon: 3D Tools > 3D Solids
main menu: 3D > Solids
command line: 3DBOX, 3DCYLINDER, 3DCONE, 3DSPHERE, 3DPYRAMID, 3DWEDGE, 3DTORUS
19
What’s New in nanoCAD Pro 11.0 8.5
Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
3D solids have their own editable properties and smart grips.
Polysolid
To quickly create wall-like 3D solids, use the Polysolid command. The command is available in:
ribbon: 3D Tools > 3D Solids > Polysolid
main menu: 3D > Solids > Polysolid
command line: 3DPOLYSOLID
The process is similar to creating a polyline with straight and curved segments. In addition, you can set default values for the Height, Width, and Alignment parameters of the resulting 3D solid.
20
What’s New in nanoCAD Pro 11.0 8.5
Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
Using this command, you can also convert 2D objects, such as lines, polylines, arcs, and circles, to 3D solids.
Analysis of 3D Interference
Highlights the intersections and overlays of 3D solids or surfaces, with the possibility of subsequent transformation of these areas into new 3D solid objects. The command is available in:
ribbon: 3D Tools > 3D Solids > Interfere 3D Solids
main menu: 3D > Solids > Interfere 3D Solids
command line: INTERFERE
With this command, you search for overlapping areas of 3D solids or surfaces. You can compare two sets of objects or check all 3D solids and surfaces in a drawing file. The found volumes of spatial collisions are highlighted on the screen. These volumes can be converted to 3D objects.
21
What’s New in nanoCAD Pro 11.0 8.5
Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
You can cycle through the interaction objects and zoom to them during the comparison operation in the Interference checking dialog box. In this dialog, you can also specify whether to delete temporary objects created during the verification of interactions.
If you clear the Delete interference objects created on Close check box, temporary objects will remain after the command finishes.

3D Solids Editing
A set of new commands allows you to create more complex 3D solids and edit existing ones.
The commands are available in:
ribbon: 3D Tools > 3D Solids
main menu: 3D > Solid Edit
command line
Extrude, Revolve and Sweep Operations
You can use operations such as Extrude, Revolve and Sweep 2D objects to create 3D solids.
In the following illustration, the same closed 2D polyline shifts along a path, rotates around
an axis, and extrudes in a given direction.

Slicing
The Slice command allows you to create new 3D solids and surfaces by cutting or dividing existing objects.
3D solids and surfaces can be cut using specified planes, UCS planes, or surface objects. Nets cannot be sliced or used as slicing surfaces.
Thicken
Surfaces can be converted to 3D solids by extruding surfaces using the Thicken command. A negative value gives the surface an internal thickness. Using the DELOBJ system variable, you can specify whether to save or delete the original surface after the operation.
Pressing or pulling faces, closed 2D objects and regions
Creating a new object or changing an existing one by extruding or moving its faces with the Presspull command.
Closed 2D objects and regions form 3D solids. Unclosed 2D objects form surfaces.
If you select the flat face of a 3D solid, the pull operation will resize the solid object basing on the specified offset distance.
26
What’s New in nanoCAD Pro 11.0 8.5
Mobile: +91 9831054008, Email: [email protected], Website: www.nanocad.in
Offset Edges
The Offset Edge (OFFSETEDGE) command creates closed polyline shifted to a specified distance
from the edges of the selected face on a 3D solid.
You can move the edges on the flat face of the 3D solid. The result will be a closed polyline located in the same plane as the selected face, which can be located inside or outside the original edges.
Wireframe Geometry on the Base of a 3D Solid Edges
The Xedges command allows you to create wireframe geometry by extracting all edges from a 3D solid.

Fillets and Chamfers for 3D Solids
The Fillet Edge (FILLETEDGE) command rounds and fillets the edges of solid objects. You can
select multiple edges. Enter the fillet radius value or click and drag the fillet grip.
The Chamfer Edge (CHAMFEREDGE) command creates a bevel for the edges of 3D solids. You can select multiple edges at the same time, if they belong to the same face, then enter the value of the chamfer size.
Editing Faces and Edges of 3D Solids
The Solid Editing (SOLIDEDIT) command allows you to edit faces and edges of 3D solids. Faces
and edges can be copied and colorized. 3D solids can also be separated.
Creating Compound Solids Using Logical Operations
You can create compound solids by applying logical operations (union, subtraction and
intersection) to three-dimensional solids.
28

Sections and Projection Views
The Section, Projected View, 2D Projected View, 2D Section View commands now work with 3D
solids.
The commands are available in:
ribbon: 3D Tools > 2D Views
main menu: 3D > 2D Views
command line: VIEWSECTION, DRAWINGVIEW, PROJECTIONVIEW, SECTIONVIEW
• Section (VIEWSECTION) creates a section view and many projection views based on it. These views are associative with its content. It is possible to show/hide invisible lines, show cross-section hatching, inside those views. The display can be customized – color, type of hatching/fills. The section can be attached to the working plane (built by the
ADDWPL command).
• Projected View (DRAWINGVIEW) creates 2D views from selected 3D bodies. The direction of projection is the Z axis of the current UCS.
• 2D Projected View (PROJECTIONVIEW) creates projection views based on selected 2D
views or section views. The behavior command is similar to Projected View (DRAWINGVIEW) command, but the projection build in the direction of the original 2D view projection or the normal vector of the section plane.
• A 2D Section View (SECTIONVIEW) command creates a section view using another 2D view or projection view. The section is constructed only by plane.
All created views are associative. Changing the model initiates automatic regeneration of existing views, but can be disabled. Views manual update is also available.

Show/Hide Manipulator for 3D Solid
The DEFAULTMANIPULATOR command allows you to enable the manipulator on a 3D solid
object when it is selected in the drawing.
Set the default manipulator or [Move manipulator/Rotate manipulator/Scale manipulator/No manipulator]<No manipulator>:
Depending on the selected option, a 3D movement, 3D rotation, or 3D zoom manipulator may be displayed.
