NanoCAD by Nanosoft is a 2D CAD (computer aided design) application that can help you create technical drawings. This program also offers support for DWG files. Sadly, nanoCAD for Mac is not a viable solution, so you will have to find and use other CAD tools to do your job. Here are some alternatives to nanoCAD for Mac.

Members 7 posts Posted 06 July 2016 - 05:37 PM. Trying to explode text in NanoCAD 8 beta. The console just says '1 objects filtered'. NanoCAD is not available for Mac but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on macOS with similar functionality. The most popular Mac alternative is FreeCAD, which is both free and Open Source.If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 50 alternatives to nanoCAD and many of them are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement.

Customers Reviews
Thorben Wegner from 'Maier Sound Design GmbH', Germany.
“We do event design and planning, so I draw mainly stages and rooms. To be honest the most painful points to change a software (it was Autodesk before Nano CAD) was the pricing. We don´t realy earn money with drawings, so a software may not costs thousands! It was a briliant choice!! The service is nice and quick, the software is great and powerful. What else do we need?!”
Toader Popa, mechanical engineer from S.C. FEPA S.A. Barlad, Romania
“It is intuitive and practical. From my point of view it is more 'human' than autocad, solid edge,draftsight ,zwcad etc.I was very pleased when I discovered this program.I'm pleasantly surprised by the evolution of this software!I think this year I will buy the PRO extension”.
Oliver Gregory, Control Systems Engineer at AND Automation Limited, UK
“nanoCAD is Fast and Reliable. It is a fraction of the cost of competitors. We have 2 of the floating network licenses and they work great. It is easy for anyone familiar for anyone used to working with other CAD software's. We would recommend to anyone”.
Sergej Bondarev, Structural engineering analyst at CALMERA, Riga, Latvia
“A powerful graphical engine that can easily handle huge IFC models exported from REVIT or TEKLA and 3D DWG models exported from mechanical CAD software. nanoCAD new graphical interface (starting from v8), in my opinion, is one of best on the market.”
Nanocad For Mac Computers
Andrew M. Gregori from Gregori Construction Inc., Pennsylvania, USA
“A lot of our work is done in very tight spaces, so it’s important to be able to accurately measure dimensions of a design’s components. Hand drawing, even to scale, carries too much dimensional error. nanoCad solved that problem. nanoCAD was an excellent choice. I have no intention of looking at any other CAD systems”
LeRoy Finnigan, McFinn Technologies, LLC, USA
“nanoCAD cannot do everything AutoCAD does but you cannot beat the value. 90% similar to AutoCAD with a great price. I design products for my own company on this software and it has proven to be indispensable.”
Lalit Kumar, Planner at IVRCL: Water Projects, India
“nanoCAD is very easy and fabulous software for drawing and drafting. Ease of use and good GUI, I didn't used it much hence I am unable to tell much about it. May be I'll be able to have a good hands on and share my experience.”
PROFESSIONAL CAD TOOL
All nanoCAD products are professional software with familiar interface, powerful drafting and design tools, native DWG compatibility, and open API. See product comparison.

REGULAR UPDATES
We constantly improve the software taking into account the opinions of users and the latest trends
Multi-purpose CAD platform
NEW VERSION: NANOCAD PLUS 20!
nanoCAD Plus includes a full suite of basic and advanced tools for creating industry-standard DWG-compatible CAD files. nanoCAD Plus user interface and design principles are fairly the same as in the most of DWG-based CAD software. Any professional can start to use nanoCAD Plus easily.
Even more, nanoCAD Plus provides innovative, collaborative and customizable features and tools not available in other CAD software to enhance your efficiency.
It is the tool to bring your design to the next level.
DWG support
nanoCAD Plus uses the industry-standard DWG (*.dwg) file format natively. Drawings created or edited in nanoCAD Plus can be used by almost any other popular CAD system without conversion or data loss.
If you can't open a drawing from another CAD due to damage or you want to audit drawing for errors, or you need to reduce file size, nanoCAD Plus provides special tools for that. Be assured you will not lose document data due to software or hardware failures thanks to nanoCAD Plus auto saving and backup functions.
Tools for efficient design
nanoCAD Plus is fully loaded with tools for efficient design. These are just 3 of them:- Tool palettes offer great opportunities for quick and easy access to your favorite commands and blocks. Your favorite sets of blocks, hatches, and scripts are now just a click away.
- Dynamic Input provides a command line interface at your crosshair. It also provides for user entry to input like the length of a line or the radius of a circle. Dynamic input is greatly simplifying the overall design process.
- Sheet Sets are the usual representation of engineering documentation. You can control hundreds of drawings and views from different drawing files from the single source.
Adjustable user interface
nanoCAD Plus implements a very efficient, and easy to learn switchable ribbon or classic-style CAD user interface. It offers a command set and UI elements appearance that will be familiar and comfortable to users of many other compatible CAD applications.
The drawing space, command line, and position of the menu items and icons on the toolbars are readily recognizable. It is possible to customize all UI components to create your own look and feel of the program. You can select special dark color settings which affect your eyes less over the long run.
IFC and Point Clouds
Due to the IFC files underlay feature, nanoCAD Plus can load BIM models from any other software capable of creating IFC files. Thus, you can review model geometry and attributes, dive deep into a loaded BIM model to search for the data you need.
Even more, it is possible to load IFC files generated by different software, e.g. architectural model from Revit, construction from Tekla, MEP data from MagiCAD and check how a complex project looks.nanoCAD nanoCAD Plus can import point clouds, primarily 3D laser scanning data (LIDAR). It provides tools to analyze and process large point clouds, such as:- data visualization;
- registration;
- filtration;
- segmentation;
- classification;
- calculations using raw data.
Open API
nanoCAD Plus comes with multilevel Application Programming Interface. It includes several API's, allowing anything from routine task automation to complex CAD application development. Developers can use COM, LISP, .NET or C++ to create software applications that run inside nanoCAD Plus.
Nanosoft can also distribute your application, giving you the ability to reach a larger audience of users.
