It is a complete 2D and 3D drawing software within Lantek Expert, with sufficient creation and editing tools to design parts from scratch, not just to 'fix a DXF'. You can draw common geometries (lines, polylines, arcs, circles, rectangles, polygons, slots, ellipses, etc.), transform them (copy, move, stretch, rotate, scale, symmetry) and build contours ready for manufacturing. The difference compared to a general CAD is not that it 'draws more', but that it does so with cutting and machining in mind: from the design itself, you can incorporate typical industry decisions and review the result before moving to manufacturing.

Yes. The module includes a wide range of 2D drawing tools to create geometry from scratch with precision, using a mouse or point input. Additionally, the 'point access' allows you to snap to exact references (end, middle, intersection, tangent, quadrant, center, projected, etc.), which is key for technical parts where millimeters matter. In practice, this allows the module to function as an independent part designer for many use cases in the industry, without the need for other software for day-to-day tasks.

It is not limited to geometry. It includes Technology and Machining menus within the drawing module itself, with specific functions for industrial cutting. For example, you can manage attacks (entries/exits) with automatic or semi-automatic insertion, define fixtures and nano-joints, generate loops in corners and 'kill edges', assign technologies such as clean cutting, marking, not cutting, dynamic cutting, and no partial cutting, or create auxiliary geometry and mesh patterns. These are decisions that in a generic CAD often remain outside or require plugins and additional steps. Here, they are part of the natural design flow.

The module supports automatic, semi-automatic, and manual lead-in strategies with multiple configurations. This helps improve cut quality and reduce defects such as burrs or marks.

The module includes a specific section for Anchors to introduce micro-holdings, with options to delete, choose different types, configure parameters, and move the entry or exit point of the anchor. It also includes a nano-joint, which reduces power to leave an anchor-type holding without entry or exit, useful for preventing small parts from shifting or falling. You can even 'convert to geometry' certain micro-holdings to treat them as geometry when needed. This is not a minor detail: in actual cutting, the stability of the piece defines quality, safety, and repeatability.

It includes Loops with automatic insertion in corners of closed geometries (depending on configuration), manual insertion of loop types, parameter configuration, and semi-automatic options for rounding edges in contours. It also includes 'edge killing', which introduces rounded angles at vertices. In cutting, corners are where many visible defects appear: overheating, marks, vibration, or imperfections. Being able to control loops and vertex treatment from the design itself allows you to anticipate the problem instead of chasing it on the machine.

Yes. There are standard Chamfer tools to add, modify, invert chamfers, and assign variable chamfers to complete contours, in addition to parameter configuration. There is also a 3D Chamfers section where you define the bottom face, connections between the upper and lower face contours, and how machining should respect those connections, supported by updating the 3D view during the definition. This is relevant when the chamfer is not 'decorative', but functional for welding, assembly, or edge preparation.

Users can define marking, no-cut zones, clean cutting, and other strategies directly in the design. This ensures that the part includes manufacturing intent from the beginning.

In Machining, you have options for automatic machining, insertion of rapid movements, cutting movements, and a powerful block of contours (manual and automatic), as well as actions like machining all marking, all cutting, or all cutting of a certain quality. There are also cycles (linear, circular, irregular, grid) defined by points, distances, number of points, etc. And specific functions such as rapid cutting in holes, manual hole destruction, automatic destruction (depending on the type of machine), and semi-automatic destruction with modes (grid, spiral, continuous). For many parts, this reduces manual work and standardizes results.

The module includes part inspection (checking the part, detecting a part to 'obtain' a clean part from another and removing excess geometry), measurements (viewing geometry, distances and angles, angles by three points) and machining verification to ensure everything is machined, that there are no overlaps, and that attacks, micro-holds, or loops do not interfere with other elements. Additionally, you can simulate program instructions, move along the line position, advance and retreat, and 'process' the simulation including rapid movements and evacuation. In practical terms: you reduce surprises. Simulation and verification are the filter before the error becomes cut metal.
