Design Intent

A few months ago Cody created a great intro video about design intent. I've been wanting to expand on these concepts
for awhile and push the topic further down the path.

Notes:
-design intent involves assemblies
-designing in an assembly is really cool
-there are 1,000's of ways to put an assembly together
-I'm not a fan of SW assemblies and I don't want that

I certainly think that we will have the ability to edit part's in assemblies sometime in the future going by what @scott_harris said in this post. However I don't think we will have the ability to parametrically link in assemblies, although I wonder if we might see global document variables which step outside of the part studio that may be able to be link into an assembly.
