I happen to have a CAD program called DesignCad LT 2000. Is it possible to use this cad program to make objects? What abilities do I have to look for?

Of course it is!
As long as you can create the object in Dxf format you can make objects with it.

I have Painter3D. It will load the dxf files and display them, and I can edit them. I haven't tried saving it and reloading using strpix, because I have display problems with opengl.
If you are just changing an existing mesh, you shouldn't have a problem, since most programs save in the same format they loaded.
If you are making a completely new mesh, I know someone has the settings for Rhino, and they should work for other programs.
