Bantam Tools Draw is a minimalist iPad drawing app to turns your sketches into Art Machine ready line work.

It offers Apple Pencil responsiveness, as well as touch drawing, and SVG export optimized for physical machines to reproduce your art. While most iPad drawing apps focus on blending, shading, and screen-based illustration, often converting strokes into filled shapes, Draw doesn’t. It captures each stroke as a single, clean vector path, exactly what pen plotters need.

Whether you're drafting technical diagrams, exploring generative patterns, creating meditative hand-drawn designs, or combining art and engineering with a generation already comfortable drawing on iPads, Draw helps you draw with intention and plot with precision.

Core Drawing Experience

• Minimalist, distraction-free interface designed to feel like drawing on paper with a pen.
• Apple Pencil responsiveness with clean, uniform vector lines; also supports touch drawing.
• Real-world precision with lines defined in mm/in instead of brush effects, no pressure or blending.
• Resolution-independent canvas where pen size stays consistent at all zoom levels.
• Zoom, rotate, and position canvas with visible paper guides for accurate layout.

Output and File Handling

• Plotter-ready SVG export optimized for Bantam Tools Studio, SVG Player, or the NextDraw Inkscape Extension (using NextDraw Layer Control Syntax).
• True-to-scale output with standard paper templates for predictable plotted dimensions.
• Single-stroke capture: every stroke saved as a clean vector path (not filled shapes).

Creative Control

• Adjustable line widths that match the pens you use, delivering true what-you-see-is-what-you-get results.
• Optional curve smoothing for cleaner, more refined results.
• Supports technical and meditative workflows, from precise diagrams to meditative patterns to freehand sketches.
