That could be extended to mean that design (CAD) components from, say, first cad library or manufacture supplied, would have to be re-drawn during the build. That does not make any sense,. Nor does drawing a prototype part off season, then pretending you didn't. I see a real difference between a physical and a virtual part when it comes to the build season. Either not creating the CAD or throwing it out would be like having a mental image of a concept, then inducing amnesia for the sake of sportsmanship.
