so I built this great set of gears and pistons that runs with constraints and initial spin.

however, when I try to move it within the scene to a new spot it breaks, falls apart and dies.

I've tried grouping it, parenting it, selecting it all, deleting history, etc etc....and nothing seems to work.

any suggestions? it'd be a big help otherwise my only solution is to rebuild it all again in the spot I wish to put it

thank you!

when u group the objects in the scene with all the constraints it will work...

thank you for taking the time to respond

I'll post again to let everyone know if that works
