That is not a good example, this file and these particular parts (Thumb Screws) have associated bodies selected as the stock that exist within the Design workspace. Why one would "break" this working setup just to test something out or try preceding stock won't necessarily work. When I open the file, yes things work, in order to leverage 'preceding stock' you cannot have your components in different locations (see attached picture). While this sample is A way to do it, it certainly is not the only way

There is a way to do this, with working preceding stock. I do it all the time, but you cannot have the stock in a different location than the part, by making copies / deriving the parts and laying them out in that manner, whomever programmed this sample became beholden to needing to have the stock 'travel' with each setup

 

I'd be happy to work with you on a screencast / voice chat to work through your parts and get a working workflow going with you, but it would be most applicable to work directly from scratch either with dummy parts with your NDA issues or the real parts
