Clear export of the component:

1. Right-click the derived feature in the browser.
2. Click Open to open the base component.
3. On the ribbon, click Manage tab Author panel Export Objects . The Export Objects dialog box opens.
4. Select any exported object of interest and click Exclude .

6. Any objects that are derived, but no longer exported, no longer update the Derive Feature. In these situations, the Design Doctor appears, offering solutions for handling these object references.
