Tbh, that workflow is also how you approach proper visual CAD programs. When I draw something in Solid Edge, I create sketches, extrude, etc until I've achieved roughly what I want, then I take measurements and set them as constraints in the model and it'll adapt accordingly.

And if I'm unsure about a measurement, I can just export a few models with slightly different values, 3D print all of them and try which works best.
