Read or download the book "Way to nanoCAD" (2017, Russian) in PDF format The author is an experienced user of AutoCAD and wrote many books on it. But now he suggests readers trying the Russian analog (nanoCAD), estimating its benefits and disadvantages. If you have worked in AutoCAD then you will not need much time to move to a new product. Interface is easily recognizable, main commands are the same, but there are nice distinctions heeding Russian specifics and CAD developers knowledge. The book comprises foreword, thirtenn chapters and appendix. It is aimed to designers, technologists, architects, students possessing definite experience of interaction with AutoCAD. On example of nanoCAD Plus 8 there are described processes of getting, installing and tuning nanoCAD as well as given recommendations concerning migration to a practical work in nanoCAD. Hence came the title of the book, Way to nanoCAD.
