I can see the the functionality of groups is not well developed. My point is that, logically, a group and an assembly are very similar; they are collections of objects. As you have methods to list assemblies, the same methods could be used to list groups. "assemblies of type=group". My perspective is that I would like to be able to group my parts & assemblies so that If I'm looking for. say, a bearing, I can look in the group "bearings", but this would need to be heirachical, so that I can build up a tree of groups to arrive at the part I'm after.
