No A credible CAD tool with accurate technical drafting and DWG support needs deep geometry-kernel expertise and must handle DWG, a proprietary and complex format, which vibe coding can't realistically replicate.
What it would actually take: A real version would need a Rust geometry engine with exact 2D constraint and hatch handling, plus DWG reading and writing built on a reverse-engineered or licensed library such as Open Design Alliance. Accurate plotting and CAD conventions take years of domain expertise and extensive testing against AutoCAD output.
