Revolute mates and grouped items

Has anyone else had problems getting grouped items to move as a group after making a revolute mate with that groupe to another part or group?  Right now, after I mate a group to another part or group by a revolute mate, the whole group doesn't rotate when I preview it.

    @colin_daly Ihave noticed on preview sometimes only the part selected rather than whole group jumps across on the screen during preview, once you finish the command the rest of the group follows.

    @ colin_daly, It is not only in group even if you mate any assembly to some parts then it will not move entire assembly until you accept the mate command.Also as you mentioned preview shows only for one part.

    I don't know if I understood you correctly but if you create a group it should move as a group according to other mates you create. If you wan't the group to stay in place you need to FIX one of the parts in group.

    On edit, I read your post again - I misunderstood at first time. Try to hit Solve and it should update other parts to move into new position also.
