Don't know if it is the most important one at this moment.
certainly not.
May be there is the need for i little explanation what im thinking about...
In my mind a well working assambly WB is a very important part of a CAD Software to get a professional standard. Part, PartDesign and some other WBs are the base, a base where a each single part can an should be created. - not less but also not more. Putting parts together, here is the Assembly WB the place for.
For a prof. way to assembly single parts, there is the need for sevaral things more: You need fasteners (of course
) and a lot of things which we buy somewhere: Bearings, gears (i know we have a gears WB, but for a assembly with gears i usualy buy the gears and get a CAD file from the supplier) profiles and so on.
For bearings, gears and other "buy parts" assembly should be able to import and handle .stp (or other usual formats) like at FreeCAD created parts.
For profiles i'm thinking about something like fasteners WB work: Just import a profile (e.g. a L) and set all dimensions after importing it.
If the assembly is finished should it be possible use something like the Animation WB to check if the assembly somewhere "jams", all needed constraints allready existing at an assembly.
But that are just some thoughts...
