Problem description

The problem

When modeling in CAD software, parts are usually assembled on an assembly workbench or file. You can usually edit a model in context of the assembly, so the sketches of a part can have a reference to the assembly that the part is in. This feature is not available on FreeCAD in any of the assembly workbenches.

My Solution

I have a possible solution for this problem. I currently have a FreeCAD fork with the option of merging into the master branch of FreeCAD. App images are available, but there are some example videos that I have created to show how this tool works.

I'm just going to work on some bug fixes and adding try-catches to stop errors, I should have it done by the end of the day.

I am planning on making one soon. (i have multiple more gifs on my laptop, but i plan on making a video with subtitles or an ai voice to better explain what the tool actually does)

@maxwxyz thanks but without audio explanation I can't understand what's happening in the gif

@PaddleStroke the positions of the holes in the base pad is referenced from the position in the assembly file. when the assembly is moved the holes in the part design body can be updated.
