You can also do that with SolidWorks. Sadly this kind of kinematics/CAD software is hugely expensive and still too complex and narrow-market for open source to offer any good alternatives to :(
Actually, Autodesk has a version that is free for hobbyists. I don't think the interface is quite as intuitive as Solidworks. But for a free CAD software, it's far beyond any other options. They even include simple stress analysis tools (FEA). I've been using it on my personal computer for a little while for personal projects.
