I think I need to find an easier way.
If you want nice web graphics, Inkscape is the right way to go: it's superior in quality, capability and usability over Draw.
The only areas where Draw has something of an edge is a) it's a bit easier to get started with and b) it plays well with the other OOo apps.
I find Draw adequate for simple technical illustrations; Inkscape is a lot more artistically powerful.
If you want to post a link to what you're working on, we might be able to make some specific suggestions.

As a subscript to all this, it turns out that draw is in the 2.3.0 version, but an entry in the kmenu wasn't made. That you can fix, and I also found a sort of a CAD extension for it while I was moseying around on their site.
But these 'extensions' only work with the later versions according to the web page on them at OOo.org.
