Hi VDahmer,
Sorry for confusion:-) Yes, there is no such option to profile components. But part still would be asked to save when placing them into assembly, right?
Step 2) just make sure there is an instanced member which is able to be used in “replace family template”.
In Step 5), Right click copied family, you can see “replace family template” from context menus. Please refer to attached screen shot.
Thanks,
Corrine
