Partial The lesson content and the browser UI are straightforward to vibe-code, but a credible 2D CAD engine with precise snapping, dimensioning, layers, and drawing-file compatibility needs real geometry and CAD-domain work.
What it would actually take: Build the drawing surface on a canvas or SVG library, with a geometry kernel for coordinates, snaps, and constraints. Dimensioning and layer behavior need to match drafting conventions, so a CAD-literate developer should define the rules. Lessons can be authored as content on top of the tool.
