For mechanical parts there are usually lots of screws, bolts, nuts, washers, etc. These are relatively small components, but they are very often imported from libraries and reused. In the other threads you have mentioned that your wood pieces are often of regular dimensions...

Re: Part::Compound / Compound: Links go out of the allowed scope
Another observation: Although I had taken a look at Assembly 2 before deciding I would not use it. The reason was that this add-on assumes one will use many different files for the different parts to be assembled and I think that creating many files with simple cuboids would be annoying and unnecess...

Re: Part::Compound / Compound: Links go out of the allowed scope
Which is why you need to define what you intend to do. If you don't have problems, then there is no need to worry about it. What I intended is already defined. I've explained in my previous comments. This is exactly what an "assembly" is. It's a collection of different objects (parts) tha...
