You can't reconfigure matter without mapping it out. Since you said earlier that you didn't need to map it on the subatomic scale, "just use autocad", you'd be building the entire starship out of banana peels and other garbage that's in a dump (should that be the source of the material that you use). Your starship would last a split second before it fell apart. But hey, all you need is autocad, RIGHT?
Subatomic mapping is needed to turn any material into what you need it to be. Unfortunately, this is highly complex and takes a hell of a lot of time to do. And the bigger and more complex the object to be created, the harder and more computational time it's going to take to replicate it.
Much easier to replicate small portions and do manual assembly from there. Heck, even the replicators did it taht way.
