Nanosoft announces nanoCAD® Plus 8.

September 8, 2016 - Nanosoft announces nanoCAD Plus 8.0, the newest version of its DWG compatible CAD application software.
nanoCAD Plus 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 Plus is a full-featured professional-grade CAD, may be the only CAD software actually designed to solve a business problem with CAD budget.
nanoCAD Plus provides a smooth migration path for existing AutoCAD users, and is priced to reflect budget reality. It costs only $180 per year per seat, including priority support and updates ($220 per year for a floating network license).
Inexpensive but powerful: nanoCAD includes unique features of hi-grade CAD software, such as drawing underlays of different file types, BIM IFC format import, point cloud processing, embedded PDF-printer, easy navigation in 3D with fly and walkthrough to mention a few.
