BRL-CAD is focused on 3D modelling but lacks 2D functions. Last time I 
checked, the manual didn't even mention a way to obtain a 2D drawing from 
a 3D model, let alone semi automatic dimensioning. The introduction 
states:

/---------------
Although BRL-CAD has been used for a wide variety of engineering and 
graphics applications, the package's primary purpose continues to be the 
support of (1) ballistic and (2) electromagnetic analyses. 
\----------------

In addition, the user interface is not very intuitive. A simple 
cylindrical mug takes 14 pages in the manual.
