Description

It seems the most part (or all of them) are incompatible with assembly4 or any othe plugin for assembly. I got a dirty workarround for example the arduino mega where I converted every volume into a part. But seriously this library is worthless if nobody is able to use them in proper assembly. I understand that the community is unsure about which assembly toolbox is the best one, but we need some common ground to have a library which is working in any case. Sure I can build my own library but this doesn't help anybody.

Can we have a plan how to Contribute to this Repo? I am willing to contribute, but we first should discuss any workflows how the parts should be generated and loaded.

I literally rebuilded most of the parts I needed already and it is time consuming and frustrating progress. I really want to support open source CAD. I come from a Catia Background and used traceparts recently. I understand everybody who has not that strong open source mind as me who never like to touch FreeCAD.

Research direction

The issue discusses compatibility with Assembly4 and other assembly plugins, using the Arduino Mega as an example, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the current contribution and part-generation workflow, then clarify which assembly tools and loading behavior must be supported. Done would require an agreed compatibility plan and contribution workflow.
