I had the opportunity to use the educational edition of SolidWorks for a few weeks a year or so ago. It seemed to have a fair number of the extra features included with it, one of which was CircuitWorks. I generated a model from a CircuitWorks example board and it turned out really well. When I tried to generate a model from one of my own Eagle projects it didn't look as good. From what I remember if there is no model of a component in the library, CircuitWorks just drops a bounding box in it's place which you can replace with your own model of the component. I had a deadline looming so I ended up using a photo of a prototype board as a texture on the part for the renderings I needed to do. This [1] help page mentions a lite version of CircuitWorks being available for all SolidWorks users, but I haven't tried it myself so I'm not sure about it's limitations.
