Ziatek Paper²CAD! is a computer program that solves two of the biggest problems that challenge those who need to convert paper drawings or 2D parts to electronic drawings. The two challenges are:
Conversion of paper drawings to electronic drawings without expensive scanners or less-than perfect raster-to-vector conversion software, and 
Acquiring fast and accurate geometry of parts that are to be machined by CNC equipment.
Operation of the program is easy and intuitive, requiring little training before an
end user is proficient with it. The graphic image verifies correct and complete
digitizing. The output DXF file can be imported into virtually any CAD program
if post-digitizing editing is required, or can be imported directly into a CNC machine
for generation of G-Code.
The speed with which a CNC-ready file can be created is nothing short of
breath-taking, reducing the art-to-part cycle to a mere fraction of what it would be
without Ziatek Paper²CAD!
 
Eight drawing tools are used to generate the part geometry. Those tools are:
Line segment 
Arc 
3-Point circle
1-Point circle (known diameter)
Fillet (this is powerful!) 
Free-form curve 
Point
Ellipse     
 
          A digitized object can be completed as a closed polygon, closing with either a line segment, arc or completion of a free-form curve. Alternatively, the powerful auto-fillet can be used to close it, or the object can terminate as an open shape at the last-digitized point.
 
          SCALE feature allows a part size to be enlarged orreduced from the size of the drawing.
 
          Digitized entities can be revised with a variety offunctions including: 
Change color 
Offset
Trim 
Extend
Fillet
Erase
