CR-8000 is a comprehensive PCB design suite that enables the development of a product from concept to manufacturing. CR-8000’s fully integrated design flow ranges from initial system planning, where critical design decisions are made about design partitioning, component selection, form, fit and function of the product or system; through detailed schematic and 2/3D single and multi-board PCB design; to optimized manufacturing output. A modular, object-oriented architecture enables use of consistent data from concept to manufacture.
CR-8000 has been designed from the ground-up to take advantage of the latest advances in hardware and software technologies. This includes 64-bit, multithread and multi-CPU hardware support, OpenGL and DirectX graphics. Network environments with standalone client, data server, application server or cloud computing are supported. By using a mouse in one hand and a touch pad in the other, CR-8000 supports the latest in human interface techniques that mean fewer mouse clicks and movements, and fewer dialogs. The authoring tools of the CR-8000 suite are complemented by a domain data management environment that provides comprehensive library, material master data and design data management capabilities directly integrated within the authoring environment.

Also FreeCAD has a gcode workbench for full 3D. I've used it a little and would describe it as "usable once you work out the quirks". Https://freecadweb.org/. Source: over 3 years ago
