Hi,
I need to draw routes of fiber optics cables ontop of a
city map and I
would like to do this in some open source CAD application.
It would be
great if the cad app would be something like Map3D so that
it has
geospacial coordinates, but that is not a must have. One
must have is
that I can scale the city map image so that it coresponds
with real
world. When I mesure some distance I need to know real
world distance.

I saw qcad but I don't see any option for importing
images. I also saw
brl-cad and it looks promising but there is no Fedor
apackage for it
so I can't test it easily.

Does anybody have some similiar 2D CAD experience? Can you
recommend
some other app?

It sounds like a job for a GIS application, an area I have no personal experience with. That said - I think Linux Journal had an article on QGIS this month, which if you Google up might help you.

You might also consider mashing something up with GoogleEarth
