Hallo
In Inventor, every object can be connected to each other through a rich set of constraints. And dimensioning lines control the size of an object.
So when there is a need to make a side longer, You only change the corresponding dimension line and the whole drawing changes according to the constraints. Very nice and efficient!
 
Is there a 2D CAD tool that work in the same way - moving one little point in the drawing will make the whole drawing adopt to the change according to some defined rules?
 
thanks
pik

Sure - e.g. AutoCAD - see a sample video:
