Of course, it does far more than just machine part drawing. It is the more commercial Machine Tool CAD and has the built-in CAM for machine tool operations. I also own Pixologic Z-Brush which is not exactly a CAD but does produce quality 3D drawings and models. Rhino 6 and Vectric Aspire to name the two main ones.
