Solidworks's current controls are the best interface for it. "Draw a picture" is something you're going to find really difficult to beat. Most of the other parametric CADs work the same way, and Solidworks is widely known as one of the best interfaces on top of that. They've spent decades building one that is both unambiguous and fast.

Maybe it's just the engineers I've worked with, but I've never heard anyone describe Solidworks as "fast."

(Of course, you and I know it is, it's just that you're asking it to do a lot)
