French term

DAO

French to English Tech/Engineering Design office
I know that this means 'computer aided drafting', but as it is being used in conjunction with the term CAO (which MEANS 'design' but ends up using the same abbrevaition [CAD], does anyone have a brilliant idea for an alternative acronym I could sue?

CA drawing

D'après Termium c'est bien le même acronyme qui est utilisé. Il y a l'option suivante pour DAO : CA drawing

DEF – The use of computers for drafting or illustrating.

OBS – computer-aided drafting; computer-aided drawing; CA drawing: terms standardized by ISO and CSA.

DEF – Dessin dans lequel le tracé est seulement esquissé par le dessinateur, le tracé final étant réalisé par l'ordinateur associé, généralement en mode dialogué.

CONT – la CAO (Conception assistée par ordinateur) et la DAO (Dessin assisté par ordinateur) ne sont que des maillons du processus de l'élaboration d'un produit industriel

OBS – Système de dessin dans lequel le tracé est seulement esquissé par le dessinateur, le tracé final étant réalisé par l'ordinateur associé, généralement en mode dialogué.

OBS – dessin assisté par ordinateur; DAO : terme et abréviation normalisés par l'ISO et la CSA.

I would try \"CA drawing\" and \"CA design\", maybe, to have 2 different things.

computer-assisted illustration

I don't think drafting is a correct translation of dessin in this instance. Logically, it would be this:
