  I don't know where you got that image, but you could always try and print the brick using the dimensions shown.
  
  Using the brick ([#32316](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32316)) shown in your example it might be possible to produce a 3D model using the 32316.dat file that's available in the [LDraw](http://www.ldraw.org/) library. The next problem would be placing the brick in a model and exporting it as a file type that is actually compatible with CAD software.
  
  I'm not sure how accurate the bricks in the LDraw library are as they're primarily for illustration purposes as digital models.
