No CAD & Hopeless

InspectorJester
Hello!
I've got a recurring issue around here; no CAD models!
Our QM handles communications between us and our customers; I'm just a lowly programmer, and am not allowed to get into contact with Engineering to get CAD models to inspect their parts. Apparently the boss doesn't want to; literally told me "yeah, that's not gonna happen. Can't you program without a CAD model?"

Working Offline on a laptop, because the desktop is currently in the hands of IT, dead.
Dafuq?

What should I do

    Can't your company sign a non disclosure agreement? Basically means your company wont share the info with anyone else.

    No idea. I wouldn't be allowed access to information like that.
    It sounds to me that the boss is lazy. Maybe he got told that from somebody once, maybe he just thinks it to be true.
    Regardless no communication has arisen regarding CAD files, or the CMM's computer. They want me to program, but have no problem keeping the desktop in the hands of our external IT department, either across town or state lines.
    I've attempted to go through the proper channels, even stepping above my boss.
    No avail. Next step is the customer's engineering dept. direct.
    Worst they can say is no, right?
    At least then I'd have some f*kin confirmation
