Revision properties would work. Just use a property name of:
        cad_ver:some:dir:path:to:foo.cad = 123
for each cad file in the transaction. Slashes are illegal to use in
property names, so you have to use colons or something else.

However, a hard coded dir name doesn't fare too well in light of
renames, moves, or copies. You would need to
        1. svn log foo.cad
        2. svn info the revision of foo.cad that you want
        3. use the url from the svn info to lookup the cad_ver property
