Export Assy outside TeamCenter and Cloning assy in Native and keep the family parts

[stormyb]

Hello,
I exported an assy outside Teamcenter. There are a lot of files exported which aren't in the assembly, but somehow they had a reference in TC with the assembly (maybe due to a save as of a component or something like that)

So now I have a directory full of files which are relevant and some aren't.

I want to sort these and I thought: let's do a "clone assembly" and I only will have the parts in the new directory which belong in the assy.

When I exported the assy outside TC I got the question what to do with family parts:
Threat them as lost or save them as single non family part. i added the last option.

When i want to do a clone of this assembly in NX native i got the question by NX: there are family parts. these parts will be threated as lost.
I thought: hmmm, didn't i just... What just happened...erm..

My question: What is the right trick to clone the so called family-parts "which-aren't-family-parts-anymore"?

Threat them as lost and when imported to TC
the import task take them from TC
