I recommend Alibre Design Express.

https://www.alibre.com/products/xpress/xpress_for_all.asp

It's free, doesn't expire, parametric, produces drawings, renderings,
exportable, and has assembly capability.

I used Inventor professionally for many years at NASA, and found it an
excellent product. Now retired, I can't afford it for hobby use.
Switched to Alibre a few years ago, recently purchased the full
version. Takes some effort to become proficient, but worth it.
