Gene,
I use Alibre. Happy with that although not renewing support this year.

I looked at it, quite a few yeas ago now, but the cost to get a full copy
of it discouraged me.
The sample was too limited plus I just couldn't get my technical head
around it. When I stumbled over OpenSCAD in about 2019, I was amazed at
how simple it was to actually make something with it. Not at all usable
with linuxcnc but absolutely the bees knees for additive stuff. I've now
made 4 versions of this board mount with the last revision being .1mm
smaller boltholes to the 3mm screws self thread with just a red ones
deeper thread engagement, that will work but I need at least 2 of them
so the one on the printer now will have 2.9mm boltholes. Made with PETG,
much more resilient than PLA, and a 40C higher temp tolerance, should
last till forever or the nearest star, our sun goes supernova. Outlast
me for sure. The finished ones will get a dab of shoe goo near each
corner and stuck inside the bases of 2 or 3 dead printers here. To mount
much more capable printer controllers.
Take care & stay well, John.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
