creatives live and die (not usually literally) by the work they do, so if a client basically wants to hire you to be a software operator and not a designer, i'd fuck them off. you don't hire an architect just to produce blueprints do you ? - for that you'd only need a draughtsman.
having said that there's always bills to pay - it's weather you are prepared/need to sell out or not.

Typical of the jumped up self importance in graphic design. A draughtsman is a better comparison to a designer than an architect, a point made in the following article

Your client is paying you to do design for them, for their business/marketing campaign they have ultimate and final say in the outcome because of this, you want to creative acceptance - become an artist.
