Text to CAD doesn't need papers. You can literally just try it and see that it works well with the frontier models. If you want reification/meshing I recommend [1] which is what Godot uses. You can throw the results in a physics engine in an afternoon and see for yourself.

This wasn't obvious a year ago, but today CAD literally reduces to Simon Wilson's pelican test, since CAD is largely a matter of functional CSG, and CSG is really not that different from SVG. It's just one more dimension, which it turns out is not a problem.

LLMs consistently one-shot CSG based video game levels with interesting physics puzzles (citing myself). Given this I'm willing to conclude that the frontier models are good at automated CAD if given the correct harness. But I guess a lot of people don't know this yet.
