Dreamcatcher sounds interesting - and in some sense, a return to older workflows. A friend worked at an F1 team at a point when they were transitioning from 2D draughting to parametric 3D CAD - One of the big issues was that in the prior setup, the designers would often draw bearing surfaces & forces on them, and the envelope - leaving the detail to the pattern makers. Whilst fast, this suffered from the varying skills of the pattern makers, and that they were all approaching or well past retirement age, with no prospect of new blood. The longer term benefits of the 3D CAD workflow took a while to realise, as it got mired in a lot of implementation detail that would previously have been deferred.
