You should use the option in Tools-->Options-->Part Infrastructure-->General --> Restrict external selection with link to published elements.  Publish out the solid, then copy and paste as result with link into the new CATPart file.

Regards,
Derek

You should also upgrade to a more current, legal copy of CATIA.  V5R11 is more than 3 years old.
