The bottom up problems you mention appear also in finished product, one unit using 6mm screws while other is 8mm; covers blocking greese nipples, poor design forcing me to rip the whole unit off for opening some cover screws etc..

I've often thought that making design engineers actually operate and service what they designed should be a mandatory part of their training.

Looks like you're looking for windows based software.  Shapr3d is iPad only, I guess iPad's that support stylus' only.  It is still a modeling environment but seems to be geared to ideation as opposed to straight parametric.  I have no experience with it just saw a blurb where an artist used it for a graphic book layout (which seems odd but made sense).

Small update about gravit.io. I wasn't aware, but the same people are developing another app, it's almost the same as gravit.io, but it has better UI design, an ability to work with multiple pages. It's a browser app, that works online, but if you would install it as a chrome app, then you can work offline. Only downside in compare to gravit.io is this app don't store projects online.
