Joint Settings in Linked Component Not Carried into Design

[ripberger]

Feel like I'm bugging you guys with too many problem .... (sorry)

I have an array of speakers in the "Speaker Array" design below. There is a ball joint from each speaker to a joint origin at the origin with an offset distance that allows each speaker to be independently positioned in space through User Parameters (xRadius, xAzimuth, xElevation) in this design. The speakers are currently positioned where they should be and respond to changes in the user parameters.

I linked this into the "Room" design below. There is a rigid joint that positions the origin of the Speaker Array relative to the Room's origin that is controlled by User Parameters is this design.

The 7 speakers at ear level have carried their Joint drive settings correctly from the linked component. For some reason unknown, the 4 overhead speakers all have their drive settings set to zero in "Room". I don't have the User Parameters to "reload" them in Room, so I kinda want them to come from "Speaker Design" as is. 

It's a basic static problem. I've attached a screen cast to simplify you seeing the problem. Public links to both designs below. In room, I've hidden all components other than the floor and the speaker array.

OK - so I managed to get rid of this problem - things I've done.

Things that probably fixed the issue:

- I locked the joints in the linked component

- I created a rigid group in the linked component for the entire assembly. 

Things that probably did not affect the problem:

Cleaned up the "Room" design - moved a lot of things out to linked components to reduce complexity.
