Your markups, signatures and text look the same in every PDF program.

Measure on your drawings, and compare revisions at a glance.

• Measuring: length, polylength and area, in millimetres, centimetres or metres.
• Set the scale by ratio, such as 1:50 or 1:100, or calibrate by clicking both ends of a known length. One click applies it to every sheet.
• Measurements snap to the drawing's own corners, line ends and crossings. Hold Cmd/Ctrl to place a point freely.
• Dimension lines your way: tick, arrow or dot ends, line weight and text size, also on measurements already placed.
• Measurements are saved as standard PDF measurements, in the same structure Bluebeam Revu writes, and Adobe Acrobat lists them as measurements.
• Revision compare: drag an older revision onto the drawing. What was added shows in blue, what was removed in red, and what is unchanged in grey.
• Compare works on whole sets: pages are paired by how they look, so an inserted or removed sheet does not shift the rest.
• Zooming, panning and returning to a page no longer flicker.
• Dark mode: switch it on under View > Appearance.
• Hold Space for the Hand tool.
• Long file names are shortened in the middle, so the revision number stays visible.
• Saving after reordering or deleting pages no longer duplicates markups in other PDF readers.
• The plan, team and sign-in screens can now be moved by their top edge.
• Combine Files names a password-protected PDF and says what to do, instead of failing silently.
• At sign-up, an email address in the wrong format is named as such, not as a wrong password.
• Plus smaller fixes and refinements.

Windows catches up with macOS, and the installer is now signed.

• The Windows menu now carries every item it should: Open Recent, Print Area, Close, Duplicate, Delete, Language and Full Screen.
• Ncored reopens at the size and position you left it.
• Quit closes the app completely, so it no longer comes back on its own after a restart.
• Docking the toolbar no longer flashes a grey strip at the opposite edge.
• On the start screen every drawing preview is the same size, whatever screen created it.
• The Windows installer is signed by Noir architects, MB.
• Windows gains everything 2026.2.7 brought to macOS: the German interface, team licences, the markups list, the start screen, system printing and filled shapes.

Ncored in German, ready for whole teams, with a markups list and filled shapes.

This version shipped for macOS only.

• Full German interface, switchable any time in the app.
• Team licences: buy seats for your office and manage them from your account.
• Markups list: every note and shape in one panel. Click one to jump straight to it.
• A start screen with your recent drawings as previews: one click reopens any of them.
• Printing opens your system's standard print dialog.
• Print just part of a drawing: press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, frame the area, and only that part prints.
• Shapes can be filled and see-through, Shift draws straight lines and perfect squares, and revision clouds now show as clouds in Acrobat and other viewers too.
• Markups made in Adobe Acrobat or Bluebeam can now be selected and deleted, with undo.
• Combine Files adds pages to the drawing you have open, and Cmd/Ctrl+R rotates a page.
• Steadier every day: a failed card payment no longer locks you out on the spot, saving is more careful, previews of heavy pages are sharper, and quitting closes the app completely. Security was tightened after an independent IT review.

Faster on powerful computers, sharper everywhere, and safer text markup.

• Ncored opens and renders heavy drawings noticeably faster on newer, more powerful computers — the bigger and denser your sheet set, the more you'll feel it.
• Text no longer disappears when you edit it — re-open a note, fix a typo, keep typing, and it stays every time.
• Honest saving: if a file genuinely can't be saved, Ncored tells you clearly instead of quietly showing “Saved.” Your work is never silently lost.
• A better text tool: resizable boxes with word-wrap, Enter starts a new line for multi-paragraph notes, and text stays crisp and exactly where you place it. Comment cards are smoother to move and easier to reach.
• Crisper rendering on every display, right from the moment a drawing opens, plus a cleaner and more consistent interface.
• Corrected garbled page thumbnails that appeared on certain PDFs, and other minor bug fixes and polish.

Friendlier sign-in error messages.

• When sign-in fails because of network issues — for example a VPN, antivirus, or firewall blocking our authentication service — the app now shows a clear message with specific next steps (temporarily disable the blocker, or try a phone hotspot).
• A clickable link to support@ncored.com sits next to the message for cases where the self-service steps don't help.

Lifetime licence — pay once, yours forever.

• Lifetime licence (€159, limited-time offer) — one-time payment, perpetual access, no renewals. Available alongside Monthly and Yearly subscriptions while the offer is open.
• Lifetime licences are tied to one user account and cover the current product version plus its updates.
• Word and Office documents with Lithuanian characters now render exactly as Adobe Reader shows them.
• Fixed the case where consecutive words would overlap or a single sentence would mix two different fonts.

Faster gestures, cleaner text handling, and natural window snapping.

• Right-click anywhere in the document — Copy the selected text or annotations, Paste exactly what ⌘V / Ctrl+V would give you.
• Drag the window to a screen edge for native tiling — half screen, corners, snap groups.
• Text selection now clears when you click elsewhere — matching Apple Preview and Adobe Acrobat.

Lithuanian characters, smaller installer, more reliable Save As.

• Lithuanian characters (ą č ę ė į š ų ū ž) now render correctly across all engineering and Office PDFs.
• Save As reloads the file from disk — the file you see matches the file on disk, every time.
• Search highlights instantly across Word and Office-exported PDFs.
• Multi-select annotations with ⌘ / Shift+click or Ctrl / Shift+click — drag, delete, or rotate them as a group.
• Smaller installer (−2.6 MB).
• Better file association — files open more reliably.
