[TheForge] Auto-Cad

MasterCAM is also a very nice package, especially if you are looking
to generate toolpaths.

You create 3-D representations of each object or part of an object and combine them as you wish.  You can even subtract one object from another.  (This is analogous to drilling or broaching, but can be a lot more complicated than that.)  Very useful.  Dimensionally accurate.  There's a learning curve, but once your well on the upslope, the program pays for itself.  At least TurboCAD does.  AutoCAD is much more expensive, last I looked.
