Joints and contact sets aren't working.

I've started using joints to assemble my design. Only need to use revolute and rigid joints however when I move one component, the components attached via joints do not move with it ( in the video the rod should spin with the crank as in an engine but doesn't) my contact sets also do not work and I can phase objects through each other and leave them phased through.

the problem here is when you are using Move, you are moving Bodies, not Components.  Meaning, you are moving the body's position within the component.  If you switch to Component move, it should behave OK.  Same for Contact Sets - contact is only checked during Component move/drag/etc.
