Designing images with dimensioning?

Question

Are there any graphics programs that work like AutoCad or Inventor where you can draw objects and give them precise dimensions? Even better, something parametric like Inventor. I don't like lining stuff up by eye or using flaky snap grids. I'm hoping for something really extensive, and straight forward as if one was drawing simple parts (I plan on making icon vectors). Is there anything like this?Thanks

Adobe Illustrator is a perfect tool for this. This is the ideal choice for creating vectors. it has both alignment and distribution (space between items) as well as an assortment of optional tools to help line items up. You can also draw objects and give them exact dimensions in any measurement you choose. I hope this helps.
