My english is inferior club it with the lack of software orientation
and I am not able to make out "the steps following acceptance of
deliverables
is crucial to answering your question" but you said its
possible thats great.
By the way I have used IDEAS, SolidEdge, AutoCAD and Microstation.
Considering
the easy availability of skilled people AutoCAD is a norm in CADROOM in our
office.

I have seen ProE do this very efficiently.

I am with plant design and as said mainly work on AutoCAD. I new
earlier CADrooms were mainly unix and now they are MsWindows, I wonder
what your desktop would look like. (what all open source is installed
on it)

By Sanpping part (my english adds part to snapping) I ment snapping my
pointer to the "Intersection, Midopint, Endpoint, Perpendicular . . ."
as used in AutoCAD.
