Quote - And that's the only right way to do it,  Cad-applications are in first instance designed to make paper drawings. The digital copy of that is only the tool which you use to make that drawings. All other things that you can do with CAD-programs, like 3D-modelling, rendering and animation are only byproducts. Nice byproducts but not very valuable for legal purposes.
But I think this is a little OT of the original discussion (Blame me, I posted the Autodesk story)

 

Autodesk products (and Bentley's microstation products) are not programs to turn engineer scribbles into pretty straight lines. They are Design programs. If your drawing in AutoCAD you're wasting a lot of money.
I am an AutoCAD Tech, this is something I’m currently trying to get thru my engineers thick skulls. paper drawings are a byproduct of the design entered into AutoCAD. if there were a way to make the output secure, electronic drawings could be the output and delivery could be streamlined.
