TiKZ is impressive. I found it a bit hard to wrap one's head
around it. It grew around the TeX and Metafont ideas. To get
a rough impression of what it's capable of, have a look at
their showcase

  https://texample.net/

their "resources" page

  https://texample.net/tikz/resources/

Their manual is recommended reading:

also available in the dead tree version.

For a quick-and-dirty technical dimensioned drawing, I still
think you're better off with OpenSCAD. But the journey is the
reward, as they say.

Cheers
