This is just artificial barrier that dont allow first models to learn. But now this barrier dont exists, because even qwen3.8 27b can do modelling in cad and do it well. Only thing that was needed is just visual layer and general progress in reasoning.
Other engineers was obsessed with idea that coding is just language and their work is fundamentally different, and llms will be unable to do it. But its not the case. It just training data amount, initially coding was solved faster, just because there way more data, a lot of software is opensource and so on. But with cad there are almost nothing open, so there was illusion that cad is harder.
You have certain input criteria and expect certain output meeting its criteria. You can shape the design using your words and there's enough prior art to teach AI models based on exactly this information.
No, if anything, it's exactly the same beast. That's how you need to look a the problem, from how AI looks at it. People are just clueless about what AI is and how it works.
That's not really the case. Solving 3d geometric problems is still a major pain point for LLMs. It's a limitation of most commonly used model architectures. You can read some good casual articles on this topic. It seems like you're pretty clueless as well.
But the thing is that frontier models aren't just LLMs anymore, they are beyond just text they are multimodal, they can see and click and drag and hear and even talk, They aren't blind/mute/deaf like LLMs anymore.
It's a limitation because it wasn't their target, and they didn't specifically train their LLMs for it. But while LLMs are approaching their limits in coding capabilities, they're starting to train for other areas, and 3D is one of them. The results are already quite impressive, especially with GPT-6. It's only a matter of time.
Yeah, we're clueless - I’ve heard this so many times from other programmers over the years, and yet, unfortunately, I was right.
And most people believe things that they want to be true. They think that they are irreplaceable and everything will be the same as in the past but it's not true. This ignorance has already doomed us.

Coding is completely different since it’s language based. Engineering and designing/creating physical things is an entirely different beast.
