Moving body from part back to assembly level part

Is it possible to move a body in a part, back to the part that it originally came from?

I first created a body in an NX part (Part A). While editing Part A, I used the assemblies tab to create a new component (Part B), and selected the body to be "exported" to part B. So Part A is the assembly that contains Part B, which has the body + associated features used to create the body.

Now I am wondering if it is possible to bring the body + associated features back into Part A. I am aware that promote body/wave geometry linker can be used to bring the body into the assembly level - but I don't think it brings the original features used to create the body, into Part A's part navigator. Is there a tool that does this?

I am using NX2000 if that helps.

try, Menu- file export - part
pick the body, select retain parameters, and send it back to the other part.
this will take all its creation features with it
