Hi, actually blender has snapping system so it's not true that it's not
included. This system need only a little improvement, but it exists. I
already suggested small improvement which will make basically what you want
to see. Without turning Blender into CAD program :)

Proposal description is here: https://developer.blender.org/T45734

to be too difficult (really just fitting existing parts together)".

Also I do not think that it's CAD features what I suggested. Abilities to
grab object and put into some precise location are in many artistic
programs. Even such like Inkscape, or in text editors like google docs. So
this improvement would be beneficial to many blender users not only for
these who are engineers.

So just be patient and try to convince developers to implement. We are
developing one Blender addon, so I know how hard is to make something
actually working. So huge respect to Blender team!

P.s. Knapp, Blender costs not as much as a car, but a lot more than couple
of boeing 747 :)
