CANNOT ALIGN linked COMPONENTS since last update 4/17/21

Ever since the last update, I can no longer use the align command for linked components. It only works when aligning bodies which if you have a component with multiple bodies and joints it messes that all up. 

Whats the deal?

seems to work for me.  You'll need to share your design and a video to get more help.

I cannot share the model. I can replicate what you did by making basic shapes. 

After playing around this is what I found out.

-I cant align components that come from an outside source (McMaster-Carr, etc). If I break the link I can then move just the bodies. 

 

This was not a problem before the last update.

I am using a Mac if it matters

If you can reproduce this on a simpler model, and can share that, it would be helpful.  I'm not sure what your workflow is.  If you use the "Insert from McMaster-Carr" command, that creates a local component.  I just tried downloading a model from them, and inserting it, and that seems to work as well.
