Currently, only one assembly per root object is allowed as described also in the tooltip.

@maxwxyz Okay, so change this topic to BUG, because if I drag the assembly, it allows adding two assemblies per root object. Watch the video I sent carefully. I can do it, but only after the assembly is created; I can drag it with the mouse.

only one assembly per root object

This rule hasn't been enforced for technical reasons. You can have several root assemblies without any issues. I added this limitation because a lot of people asked for it and keep asking to limit to one assembly per doc. I was against this but complied as it seemed to be what most wanted.

But yes the tool is inactive if you have already a root assembly, but nothing prevents you from drag/drop a sub assembly to root level. I'm not interested to solve this. Because in the first place my wish is to scrap this limitation altogether. It's useless and I don't want to spend more time working on it / maintaining it.

It would be interesting to know why so many people want this restriction.

It would be interesting to know why so many people want this restriction.

Maybe as a matter of discipline . . .
