That would be Vellum...

Not low end by any means, but as close to "thinking the drawing onto
the paper" as it gets.

FWIW, DesignCAD also has (even in the dos versions) the ability to
generate hull lines, if you can program it. It includes a BASIC style
program development "engine" which can be used to do MANY different
things. They(Viagrafix) used to publish a book of third party add-
ons/ins for their product; programs built using this BASIC engine
contained within designcad. Some of the first signmaker cnc toolpath
programs were also built within designCAD for this very adaptability
combined with a low price.

It is good to hear that turbocad is working well for you. They went
through some bad releases, IMO.

Hope this helps.

P.S. Try to get a demo of Vellum. You'll see what other cad "should"
be, IMO...
