Well, considering that most CAD programs (at least those I'm familiar with) structures its data in a very similar fashion as a RDBMS, AND given the advanced object/relational mapping tools we have today, how hard could it be? The CAD system does not even have to be a straight client-server, but a three-tiered system where the application server do batch update/fetching of the data for efficiency.
