The two companies that springs to my mind here are
Intergraph, who
did CAD systems based on VAXen. They usually based their systems on
the VAX-11/750, but I don't think there was any technical reason
that an 11/780 shouldn't be possible as well.
FWIW, the VAX-11/780s I have were a part of an intergraph setup at one
point. I didn't save the drafting-table sized drawing tablets/cad
terminals that were with it, because of a lack of space...
Alas, the setup they had didn't look like the Intergraph stuff I saw.
