Modifying Hard Points in an assembly has made most of the related properties lose their link the subsystem?

I recently had an issue with the fsae database I was using that just wouldn't load, but that issue was fixed with Rishi's help ( simcompanion.hexagon.com/.../ive-been-following-the-adm743-fsae-tutorial-and-while-completing-workshop2part2-simulating-a-full-vehicle-assembly-i-get-an-error-in-the-message-window-stating-the-model-isnt-defined-so-where-and-when-do-i-need-to-define-the-model ).
 
This was my new start point, but when I modified the hard points of the front suspension subsystem it lost most/all of its links with the property files? Here's what I did:
 
  1. Created a new subsystem, using the template _fsae_frontsusp.
  2. Modified the hard points to reflect the teams current car setup, placing the zero reference on the ground with y=0 and x=0, which is the xy coord of the CoG, and all dimentions taken from there.
  3. Applied the changes and looked at the graphical representation (looked good).
  4. Saved the subsystem and got a huge list of property file warnings (attached)?
  5. Did the same for the ARB and steering and got similar issues.
  6. Created a new assembly with the front susp, arb and steering, got some more property wanings.
  7. Tried to run a front suspension assembly simulation, but unsurprisingly it wouldn't run.
 
It looks similar to the above problem in that all of the property files are a lot older (2012/2013)?
 
I'm not sure why this would happen? Am I missing a step?

    Yes, this is an ADAMS command file. Once you have opened your model, press F2 and point to this file.
