multiple PCB support would be nice. The angle and the distance of the PCBs should be adjustable.

e.g. for two perpendicular to each other standing PCBs

    Hi,
    There will be no support for more than one PCB (I omit situation with two "pcb's" in one sketcher):
    - there will be too many work with rewriting code,
    - mentioned by You options are part of assembly workbench, or should be available in main asm file in future,
    - parts are not connected in any way with PCB (X/Y/ROT values).

    If You want to make assembly of few pcb's You need to wait for asm workbench ;) or try to export pcb as one object and import them to new file. After that operation You will have one object and it will be much easier to manage pcb position/orientation. However I didn't found yet how to import/export pcb as one object with colours.
    Of course You can try to connect boards 'from hand'.

    ok I understand you, but maybe you have a look at the following project.
    It seems to be a smaller project but the part with multiple PCBs is included ;)

    https://github.com/ch-aurich/Eagle2FreeCad

    like in the example for the PCB position and rotation there is a text placed in layer 223 with the values

    Hi,
    Sorry but still no. For me it is without sense to write extra code for this workbench that should be a part of assembly workbench (I don't see sense to create more than one pcb in file, for connecting more parts together should be asm workbench).
