    One way would be to use a digitizer and puck (an input device with crosshairs and multiple buttons) to electronically "trace" a drawing.

    another would be to insert the object to be traced as a raster image and then redraw over the lines, you'll need to scan the drawing inquestion as a image file (jpg, tiff etc) then insert as a raster image and draw over the lines
