I dunno about the metric on "amount of conversion" but have you looked
at Rhino3D as a modeling environment where you can "doodle", create a 3D
solid model of your creation, and then output directly CAM-compatible
G-code?
[Sorry- Rhino's an excellent modeler, but it doesn't output g-code. The
closest it comes is the STL format, which can be used for the basis of a
conversion to g-code, (by another program, like DeskProto), or it can be
used directly by some rapid prototyping machines.]
