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.
