I remember doing that in FreeCAD. Maybe I didn't get all the intrincacies and you mean something bigger than what I tried, but there was definitely a constraint system.
EDIT: Found a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY_GGTa9-mU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY_GGTa9-mU Is this what you mean?
- pwnna 12y agoAFAIK FreeCAD has a 2D constraint system. I need a 3D one to really work efficiently.

- m4x 12y agoThat part is constructed using a series of 2D sketches with 2D constraints. It is still difficult to create complex assemblies in FreeCAD with 3D constraints between parts (such as aligning two faces of different parts or constraining different parts to the same axis) An assembly module is being developed which addresses this problem, but it's a recent addition and still has some limitations FreeCAD is a very good piece of software none the less
