Why would you think that someone who knows only CAD would have no knowledge of how to design (I'm assuming this is the "it"). I would be highly surprised if anyone who knows only CAD would have an issue making a pencil sketch such as the picture for this post. Many of the drivetrain ideas posted on here are done in CAD simply because it takes more time. I work on new ideas instead of doing my homework, so if pencil sketches let me get back my homework in five minutes, I'd rather spend an hour CADding.
