Maintain associativity lost in revolved protrusion...

I have an assembly which was created in V19.
We have since upgraded to ST3.

The initial design in "easilly" adapted for other parts, and I have linked most of the dimensions that would change from part to part to a spreadsheet.
Upon copying the draft, assy, and all associated files, I have found that some "associative properties" have been lost.
(when attempting to include geometry, the second check box in assembly part include options is unchecked, and greyed out.)
The assembly is driven by both included geometry, and a spreadsheet.
Links to the spreadsheet are still active, however some of the components no longer maintain associativity to geometry in other parts.
All features were done within the top level assembly.

It is a history based model, and not syncronous....

Anyone have any ideas?
I know that if you attempt to edit a feature while you are not in the correct assy, the links will appear broken.

Just a side note, the other sub assy works just fine.

Frustrated....
