Well, yes, in principle. It's not *efficient*, but it is available.
Sometimes, it's even the right thing to do; in board layout, I typically
numerically position the board outlines because they usually have to fit
a numerically-specified mechanical drawing. If I had to do that for all
the components on the board, though, I'd go mad, and it's fairly easy to
do pixel-exact placement when you're just lining things up (assuming you
have standard ~72dpi pixels; these newer "retina" displays change that a
bit).

For pixel-accurate pointing on a CAD drawing?
I am given to understand that some CAD systems let you input
coordinates numerically. So, yes, in principle!
Huh? For the love of all that is holy, WHY? We found something
better: Mice. When we find something better than mice, we'll use that.
Currently, there's nothing better than mice.
Real keyboards!
