Break link between component and machinery library

Break link between component and machinery library

Break link between component and machinery library

(OP)
In NX 9 I have generated a couple of fasteners from the machinery library. Now I want to tweak the parameters of those fasteners to values that are not available in the library. So I want to break the link, as if I created the part from scratch but I can't see to figure out how. I can't save the file as a new name. I can't rename the file in windows explorer. Where is the setting that it tying it back to the KE library so I can break it off?

Perhaps the "make unique" command?

Perfect. I had never noticed that right click option before.
