Parametric modelling has some issues. Mainly the history tree is finicky, things like changing sketches will rename certain lines and arcs (even though all your doing is resizing). This leads to further errors down the design tree. When new lines or arcs...

Sometimes, when the set or pieces you are working with is large, it loses fluidity. I miss being able to create macros and other specific tools to facilitate the work.
