component stair and linking

[cr_gixxer]

I couldn't figure out how to manipulate a winder stair to get what I wanted. the only I figured out how to make this kind of stair was to create a couple of runs,the first being one riser, make a landing, delete the first run, add an extra step to the second run, and offset the stair down the height of one riser.

for the most part it worked well, I don't have a riser in plan, but can easily draw one in.
The stair arrow starts where I want to show it, except when this file is linked into another (shown in the right window in the attached image)

checked my view templates, view ranges, and such; but can't figure out why the stair arrow reads correctly in the master file but not the file it is linked into.

also when linked the up/dn text isn't visible, but is there and prints

any thoughts

I don't know if it will make a difference, but the view on the right is set to hidden line and the lower left view is set to wireframe. I would also check the view range. It looks like the left view has a plan region around the stair?
