depends on what you're designing and what kinds of products you need out of your cad program

I'm intrigued, what kind of products do they design in Blender?

sorry, by 'products you need out of your cad program' i meant things like prints with dimensions and callouts, or stl files, or gerbers, not the physical artifacts those things are used to produce

Got it.

Same question, what are the products you are referring to?

i just answered that in the comment you're replying to, so you have exhausted the presumption of good faith, and this is my last comment in this thread

I'm trying to get at what CAD program outputs you would want that aren't drawings, etc. I'm not aware of any. I'm trying to get at what true application Blender had which you are referencing.

If you don't want a drawing or a manufacturable thing out of your CAD program then its likely not CAD your doing but graphics design or 3d modeling, not design. This is fine, but itsba different thing.

I was trying to parse through that with you...
