Could you build this?
No A full commercial 2D/3D CAD engine supporting native DWG/DXF read/write and 3D geometric modeling kernels requires decades of specialized mathematical and graphics software engineering.
What it would actually take: Building a CAD engine of this caliber relies on proprietary geometric modeling kernels (like ACIS or Parasolid) and libraries like the Open Design Alliance (ODA) Teigha platform for reverse-engineered DWG compatibility. It requires deep C++ graphics programming, computational geometry algorithms (NURBS, constraint solving), and decades of legacy file format compatibility handling that cannot be vibe-coded.
