Fusion 360 is a good option. CAD and CAM in one package. It is more complex than SketchUp but still accessible to someone that is not a drafter.

Fusion / Solidworks always feels so clumsy to me when trying to design a woodworking project like a table or something. It works, but it somehow feels like the wrong tool for the job.

Maybe it’s better for more complex woodworking projects that aren’t just composed of simple rectangles. It’s certainly great for mechanical design and other use cases with smaller, more complicated geometry.
