ProDesktop is like a lite version of Pro Engineer, so it's basicaly just 2d sketcher 3d modeler, but without any CAM capabilities like big brother, so you can't directly get g-code from this program, they have Pro E for that (big money)
Then there are program like utbintarbo mentioned before all pro and all expensive.
But if you have simple design, you can draw in acad, then export dxf file to little program called ACE converter this basicaly make g-code from 2d lines of the dxf file, then you just have define depth and steps of millig and add few simple g-code commands that make program complete.
