MOSCOW, Russia, Mar 30, 2026 – Nanosoft AS is proud to announce the release of nanoCAD 26, the latest version of our professional CAD platform. Building on the foundation of the previous version, this update introduces a wide range of user-driven enhancements designed to speed up drafting workflows, improve precision, and deliver a more refined user experience across the entire application.
“With nanoCAD 26, we focused on listening to our users and refining the details that make a real difference in everyday work,” — said Frode Rødland, CEO of Nanosoft AS. “From smarter snapping and expanded text tools to advanced layer management and localized command aliases, this release empowers engineers, architects, and designers to work faster and more intuitively than ever before.”
What’s New:
1. Native Command Aliases – Work Faster in Your Own Language
nanoCAD 26 introduces localized alias files for French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese, allowing users to call commands using shortcuts in their native language. Whether through the command line or dynamic input, familiar abbreviations reduce typing time and streamline the drafting workflow.
2. Interface & Dialog Updates
A cleaner, more modern interface enhances usability across the platform. The status bar now features minimalist icons instead of text indicators, while a wide range of dialog boxes — including Options, Profiles, and Text Decoding — have been refreshed to provide a more consistent and contemporary user experience.
3. Enhanced Rectangle & Polygon Tools
Rectangle and polygon tools have been expanded with new creation modes and flexible settings. These options are now available directly in the Extended Properties dialog, offering greater control and precision for 2D drafting tasks.
4. Smarter & More Flexible Snaps
Snap functionality has been significantly upgraded with a more flexible configuration system. Users can now fine-tune snap behavior — including object highlighting and snap trigger control — directly within the Options dialog, enabling greater precision tailored to individual workflow preferences.
5. New Text Editing Tools
A comprehensive set of new text tools has been introduced to improve editing efficiency and control. Enhancements include Text Align, Text Mask and Unmask, MText Formatting Reset, Auto Numbering, and Text-to-MText conversion, among other functions.
6. Advanced Layer Management: Groups, Filters & States
The Layer Manager now includes powerful tools for working with groups, filters, and layer configurations. These features are accessible through an expandable panel opened via the Expand Layer Filter Tree button, giving users more control over complex drawings.
