I've found it after a bit of searching - It was a 3D parametric solid
modeler called Designer - released in about 1993. As far as I can tell it
was superseded by Mechanical Desktop when this appeared.

I never got as far as dimensioning before it had crashed though -
obviously
you were luckier or the models were simpler.

I found it very awkward at first - but since learning it in 1996, I
haven't
really done any 3D work in AutoCAD except for simple quick sketches
created
with solids.
