I know I'm new here, but Illustrator and CAD are both vector based, neither are inherently more accurate than the other, the fact that you can losslessly transition between the two is testament to that. True, by default Illustrator will display lengths only down to 1/10,000th of an inch, but you could also change your units and drop it to 1/10000th of a mm, or go even smaller down to 1/10000th of a point (0.00000013") That's probably more accurate than your monitor could display anyways. Does anything here really need to be more accurate than that?

All of those 'quick' things you mentioned for autocad are just as simple, if not more powerful in Illustrator. If you're engineering, by all means, use an engineering tool. If you're designing, you should probably use a design tool. (I may be a bit defensive of Illustrator) ;)
