Some CAD programs do. I use Carrara to import 3DS models from CAD (Carrara has a very tolerant 3DS importer (hardly anyone makes a good 3DS format exporter since AutoDesk doesn't bother to control the standard), it works with long and short name versions of JPG files spread everywhere in different folders) and then export as OBJ into Vue. Vue likes everything already UV mapped and figured out and in one folder. So it's best to use OBJ for importing, so you don't have to do much re-texturing of everything after importing.
