CAD and machining are different fields, true, but I see a lot of the same flaws that Adam Karvonen highlighted in his essay on LLM-aided machining a few months ago:

Do any people with familiarity on what's under the hood know if the latent space produced by most transformer paradigms is only capable of natively simulating 1-d reasoning and has to kludge together any process for figuring geometry with more degrees of freedom?
Commenting on the link you provided: is using a LLM the right approach for this? Why not train a specified model to generate accurate CAD drawings, rather than offloading the task to some LLM that, while it might have some knowledge of machining or CAD conception, will probably fail, because that is not really what it was built for.
