Oh, please excuse me. It seemed to me that you were saying that AutoCad
did not include any *design* tools, which is wrong.

Well Well well... seems you started calling me fool without reading the
thread.... here Doug.. I'll help you out... this is what I wrote :

It's a misnomer..... vector based and you provide the coordinates for it
to
plot.. 2D or 3D. Yes you can design from scratch.... but try and import a
rastar based graphic to incorporate and your **** out of luck. It's utilzed
in engineering.. not graphics

...and Wally's reply is correct as well... :

The operative term is 'Computer Aided'. The 'D' properly stands for
'Drafting'. CAD is an electronic drawing board - it doesn't contain
'design'
tools, it contains 'drafting' tools.

There is nothing false in that statement.... autoCad is a drafting
application


Always remember, never forget... some people have inferiority complexes,
others are just plain inferior.

....and some like you suffer both simultaneously.
