0.19 Assembly4 - using LCS?

I think I have followed the correct process on this, I had create several files mainly in partdesign before attempting to use assembly4 WB. So created Part container and move content of body etc for each one into each part container, and saved as separate files. Closed all file and reopened, selected the Part container and create New LCS. LCS is created but I am not prompted for any attachment properties. I have attached my files.

Your development version is obsolete. I suggest you upgrade to a newer version. We are currently in 0.19.21320.

I'm not sure what is wrong. I poked around a bit.

There are duplicate origins in the 50RHS_6 file that I get warnings about. It won't delete them though. :roll:
Not sure how this occurred.

Just for discussion:

Later rev's of A4 now allow a regular PD WB Body to be used by adding LCS from PD WB.

So it might be a possibility to create the arm as a separate part, then create an assembly of it and the fasteners as a sub-assembly.

Thanks Drmacro, for having a poke into it. I haven't got back to giving this another go as yet, but will give try what you suggest.

I've only just come back to this. I'm looking for where it is possible to add LCS from the PD WB ? I've since updated FreeCAD and also the Assembly4 WB.

Well it's been quite some time since, but having another go at this but there seem to be some sort of offset that occurs. Files are attached if someone wouldn't mind reviewing and helping again. Thank you.
