Does nanoCAD support commands like Tabsurf, Revsurf, Rulesurf and Edgesurf to create surface models? Other CAD-programs often support these commands. These commands are very usefull to create 3D-objects.

Hello!

NanoCAD designed to create 2D drawings, so current version doesn't have this functions.
You can draw polyface mesh by specifying vertices.

While other free CAD programs like ProgeCAD 2009 Smart and DraftSight do have these basic 3D-functions like edgesurf, tabsurf, rulesurf and revsurf.

It's a good thing to release freeware CAD programs like NanoCAD. Especially for those who can't afford an expensive CAD package is freeware CAD a relief.

Not sure. It will use third-party library with royalty.
