How can you break the associativity of a Part Family member so that it becomes a stand-alone part file in NX?
Solution
1. Open that family Member currently being used that is needed as a separate
file.
2. File --> Save As.
3. Save the Part Family Member to a new name. The file must be saved a new name to break the link.
This breaks all links to the original template part currently presiding as the parent of the family member.
With this separate part file, it can be used as a simple component or used to generate a new template part, or any number of other uses of a part file.
