An excellent introduction is: http://softsolder.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/cnc-introduction-2011.pdf

Especially useful is CNC Quick Reference --- a one-page .pdf w/ the essentials of cutting and G-Code.

The files area of the unofficial Shapeoko Facebook group has: https://www.facebook.com/download/2368776673448168/CNC%20Information%20Quick%20Reference%20Guide%206-7-2019.pdf CNC Information Quick Reference Guide 6-7-2019.pdf]

Clipart
Often, clip art will be done in stroked lines which are not suited to most CAM programs --- the solution is expanding the strokes and unioning them: https://community.carbide3d.com/t/converting-line-art-for-drawing/9493

SVG generators
Since the typical workflow makes use of scalable vector graphics (SVG), one can leverage tools which make these to produce designs or design elements for cutting:


 * QR-Codes --- http://keremerkan.net/qr-code-and-2d-code-generator/
 * Celtic knot work --- http://sourceforge.net/projects/knotter/
 * Lithophanes --- http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/
 * http://mandalacreator.com/

Digitizers
One can of course use a probe, or laser digitizer. A profile gauge is a useful option as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile_gauge

http://fablab.ruc.dk/diy-digitizer/

Project Generators
Design into 3D is an effort to create a systematic set of project generators for CNC projects, documenting things well enough that one would be able to draw up traditional plans using pen and pencil and fabricate an instance of a project using hand tools.
