Not if you can't code, which most engineers cannot (nothing wrong with that). In fact, I'd say without a team of highly trained software engineers and a whole lot of time and money, having the code for a CAD program is almost useless. In civil engineering, it's my understanding that it's standard procedure to check everything CAD tools output. If a bug leads to failure in the field, at least one person, but probably multiple people, has failed horribly and he will rightfully be held responsible.
