How do you know when to CAD vs draw up on paper quickly

How do you decide which design items must be CAD'ed before proceeding with building and which things can be drawn up on paper with quick dimensions?

It seems there are different views on whether everything must be CAD'ed before proceeding or using a low tech solution of "paper, pencil, and ruler" to get a design that's good enough to build off of.

When time is running short do any of you let go of the desire to CAD and use paper and pencil?

In managing the project, how do you know which things need to be dependent on CAD-ing most and which things can be good enough on paper and pencil?
