The line, ellipse and rectangle tools have text boxes for typing in the sizes and in the case of the line tool the angle.

Granted it does not cover all aspects of cad tools, but it can be useful for floorplans.

Adobe has no CAD program. Among the mainstream general-purpose drawing programs like Illustrator, any of the others would be better (Corel Draw or Technical Designer, Deneba Canvas, Xara Designer Pro, Serif DrawPlus, Inkscape).  Illustrator provides no dimension tools, no user-defined drawing scales, no proper radius / chamfer features, no callout tools, no connector lines.

For dressed-up floorplans and other such drafting-like stuff, I'd particularly recommend Deneba Canvas first, Corel Technical Designer second. Both Deneba (marketed by ACD) and Corel have their own CAD programs, too.

All of these features are available with Cadtools, an AI plug-in made by a company called Hot Door. They actually work quite well within AI.

Yes, I've used CAD Tools and am quite familiar with it. But I generally don't recommend third party plug-ins. They are never as fully integrated with the host program's interface as standard features are. One has to worry about breaks in compatibility when the host program changes versions. The more elaborate ones cost as much as a competitive side-grade to a more purpose-built full program anyway, and in competitive side-grades, you get alot more in the deal, plus the advantage of working experience with more than just one drawing program.

All good points. Just thought I'd mention an alternative to the list. This point:

"One has to worry about breaks in compatibility when the host program changes versions."

...is especially painful with Cadtools. Everytime Adobe brings out a major rev, it breaks Cadtools

and requires a healthy chunk of cash and  a fairly lengthy wait for the update.

I think ,it's AutoCAD 

AutoCAD can be described as the use of computer structures to assist within the creation, modification, optimization of a design.

For training info can go into BIM DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY
