French term or phrase: figé sur un papier original
Someone who works for a jewellery house is talking about the jewellery design process (from a witness statement relating to a dispute about intellectual property rights):

"...nous avons un fond de dessins à partir desquels on donne aux dessinateurs les pistes à suivre, lorsque le produit est arrêté il est figé sur un papier original qui permet de réaliser l'objet en trois dimensions."

So far I have the following unsatisfactory translation "... when the product is finished it is FIXED ON AN ORIGINAL TYPE OF PAPER which allows the object to be made in three dimensions."

capture [the design] on a new sheet of paper
Explanation:
I believe that 'capture' is the normal expression in jewellery design - this is used a lot in computer aided design but I think it is the same for paper design too...
