On the $$ side I use synergy from weber systems. The drafting is free, cam for 2.5 D is $250. IIRC, wireframe is $750 and full solids (parasolids) is $1250. The learning curve is interesting but possible even for a dummy like me. Google 'synergy cad' to get a web site. They have a 30 day trial of the full meal deal. On the non-$$ side I'm trying to learn APT; both for mental exercise and as a practical tool.
