Thanks. :)
Yeah, I've tried both A2+ (A2plus) and Assembly4. Both seem to work ok for at least basic things.
However Assembly4 requires attachment points to be defined in the source parts instead of just storing the attachment info in an Assembly file.
That means source parts will have Assembly4 stuff added to them, ruining their re-use (eg with external people) unless they're also using Assembly4 exclusively.
It's really unfortunate, as I wanted FreeCAD to be useful for publishing reference designs people could use even (say) 10+ years in the future. :(
