This is a skill that everyone using CAD needs to know if you plan on using it in the real world. If you send someone a CAD file to use, they now can change anything they want on your drafting, including your name. But a Jpeg can only be viewed giving you some security in your drafts.
THis is the same thing as it being a good idea to not always send the vector works file of something to somebody because it can be changed so easily. And even worse that file can disappear somewhere and end up in a show later on without you knowledge or approval. CAD is even more deadly because if someone changes a structure and it has your name on it and it falls and kills or injures someone it can really come back at you with a nasty vengeance when you are not t
Outside of security reasons, I look forward to exporting my autoCAD files to another program so that I can add the "paint" to the walls, print it out, and build a model with details already there. On the JPEG thing, I would probably take it from a .jpg and change it into a .pdf and restrict the editing AND printing rights, that way I know that my file won't be tampered with.
I see the utility for this skill, but I would guess in most cases you could plot to .pdf which seems much easier.
