It seems like it is one of those official/unofficial things... I could probably get away with it, and I will always say it, but I guess I wont put it on my site.
Thanks.
googled and CADed would be odd colloquialisms. And that is what they are...colloquialisms. Unprofessional and nothing that I would ever use in a paper that's actually being submitted. Like the people above said, CAD is a noun and a process, but not a verb, therefore, cannot be used in the past participle.

Don't use for a website or paper. +$.02
