I suppose you mean by "automatically", in 3-D and if that is what you mean then yes, there is no way I know of to automatically do this by way of settings or dialog boxes.
I do not agree that it is a work-round, but rather just work, whether with pencil and paper or with 2-D CAD tools, drawing is drawing. Chief can be set to reduce the amount of drawing but not eliminate it all together.

This pretty much sums it up.
If I need to do something that is uncommon or specialized and the software allows me to do it with the tools available it's not a work around it's just manipulating the tools properly or inventively.
