1 year ago Personally, I don't use A2plus and Assembly. There are two reasons for that:
- I never had time to learn it, this is difficult to use. Also I saw A2plus creates special objects that might not be supported by all FreeCAD operations.
- I am more into not-bound modeling. If you have bounded objects like for example Pad on Pad at PartDesign you can't move them, create gap between them or replace. This is significant issue. Not-bounded modeling gives more freedom, especially in case of redesign. You can remove or replace any object, even nested very deeply. You can switch visibility of any object.
However, I don't say no for A2plus or Assembly support, I even don't know if this is the same thing. I should look at this more closely. But I need sample simple file with such objects that should be supported.
You can provide file sample? I need A2plus installed? or something else? But not huge. Just simple 2 Cubes created with A2plus or whatever it is called. Maybe simple operation on that you use often. I will look at it and tell you if this is possible to calculate such objects.

Darek - my workflow now consists of assembling ready-made furniture pieces together into a larger build. For example, for different cabinet types I have several template FreeCAD files which are fully parameterized, e.g. for shelves, cabinets, cabinat doors etc.. When building a larger project I then compile the build by composing various template files in A2plus. Do you have any plans supporting external parts? Thanks!
