#FreeCAD 1.0's Assembly is extremely confusing. Firstly, there is an implicit 'maximum of one joint between any pair of parts', although _nothing_ and _nobody_ will tell you this (including _any_ of the tutorials but one). Secondly, if you need to align a part by _multiple_ features, have fun figuring out LCSes, which _nobody_ and _nothing_ explains.
Why couldn't we just have Assembly3, but _not_ running like treacle?
