In CAD (Computer Aided Design) you can basically draw on an electronic pad which transfers your sketch directly into the computer as a graphic file. It?s better to use CAD than to just scan designs into a computer because CAD produces vector art (points and lines) and not just raster pictures as with a scanner. The drawing pad which is an electronic drafting board combined with a pencil like object or a ?puck? to create vector art from hand sketches on the pad. When I was in college we used these I?m not very fond of them, but anyone who likes to sketch original graphics this could come in handy and eliminate the scanning step and then having to go back and transform the art into a vector format.
