1. Right-click the derived feature in the browser.
2. Click Suppress Link with Base Component.

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 .
5. Return to the Derive component and click Update.
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.

Break the link:

1. Right-click the derived part in the browser.
2. Click Break Link With Base Part.
   Note: Once you save the derived part, you cannot reestablish the link.
