Copy the solid body to another layer, which should create just a dumb solid, then delete everything else and do a Save As to save as a new file name.
A Parasolid would probably be a faster translation compared to STEP.
You also might be able to use Edit Feature -> Remove Parameters.

RE: How to remove the part history
If you aren't concerned about maintaining all of your part parameters and only need a dumb solid, parasolid is the best choice. Create the parasolid and then either open it directly or import it into a new file.
RE: How to remove the part history
I may have misled you with my wording.
The Save As was the last step, not the only step.
Creat a block then copy the solid with history to another layer using the Copy to Layer command (Format -> Copy to Layer). The history will not be retained in the copied solid using this command. It will create an unparameterized feature, which would now be shown as just a Body in the Model Navigator in NX4 & NX5.
Now you can delete the Block feature and have just a dumb solid block remaining. Move it to the appropriate layer and Save As....

When you "save as" and do an info->part history, you will still see every iteration.
RE: How to remove the part history
I guess instead of deleting the parameterized solid, after copying to layer the user could then use Export Part to export to a new file and export the copied Body only.
Sorry for getting our wires crossed....we were on 2 different pages there.

RE: How to remove the part history
If keeping the part parameters is desired (I would want them for future mods), I still feel that a clean export of the part would be the way to go.
Bingos,
After reading the responses, let us know just what it is that you need to do.
