Because nobody has gotten around to coding up the ability.

What it will require is for someone to code up a way to turn a CAD object into
a multiline object.  There is a currently-unused routine that can take
a list of lat/lon pairs and generate the multiline string and a point at the
center (average lat/lon), and it could be used for that.  But someone will need
to do the GUI work to allow specification of which CAD object to send out
this way, and assemble an object to go out over the air.
