Odd Combine Behavior

I am attempting to join an array of solid bodies that were formed from a Rectangular Pattern. After combining into a component or just a body, I am always left with 10 bodies regardless of it being a component or not. Below is both a screencast and the file in question.

There isn't a screen cast attached, but I looked at your file.  Your use of the move command is problematic.  The move command should rarely be used in parametric designs.  attached is a model approximating what it looks like your trying to do.  note everything is drawn or extruded in place. no move commands.  step through the time line and ask questions about anything you don't understand.

"The move command should rarely be used in parametric designs."

 

Thank you for that tip.

Wow, seems I was going through things pretty backward! Thank you for the file, I can't believe I was missing such simple processes. Thanks!
