nanoCAD won't work on Windows 10

Joona Koskela's Photo Joona Koskela 08 Feb 2018

I installed nanoCAD on my 64 bit WIndows Home computer. When I try to open nanoCAD it seems to do it just fine, but when I try to draw on the drawboard my cursor disappears and anything drawn on the drawboard won't show. I have already tried switching the hardware acceleration settings between each other.

It also shows just a blank screen on layout tabs and on the different size paper tabs.

Hello Joona,
does cursor disappear on every file or on a specific?
Try to set compatibility mode:
- Switch on the compatibility mode with Windows 8 on your PC in Windows settings
or
- right click the application file (exe/desktop shortcut) and click properties. On the Compatibility tab check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose Windows 8.

Yes it does disappear on every file. I've already run nanoCAD on compatibility mode with Windows 8 but it doesn't seem to help at all..

Hello, i have a similar problem. I installed Nanocad 5.0 on my pc (Windows 10 Home), it starts well but when I pass with the cursor on the draw some of it changes color randomly or disappears.
It doesn’t happen with Windows 8 in other pc.
I switched on compatibility mode with Windows 8 but the bug continue.
Thank you

Hi,
did you try to switch graphic settings (OpenGL/DirectX)?

Switching graphic settings to DirectX seemed to do trick for me!
