Copying Body without keeping parameter references

[cadop5R9X9]

I have a parametric model in Fusion.  When I copy/past or move+copy the body (to make a copy next to it), and then change the parameters, it changes both the original and copied one.   How can I copy the body without keeping the link to parameters?

Basically I have some parametric design, and I want to visualize what 10 different parameters would make it look like, showing them all side-by-side.  I know I can export/ reimport the models, but hope there is a faster way.

The only way, I know of,  to strip off Parameters from a Body or a Component is the Derive it into an assembly and make sure you do not check to include parameters.  If you save it, then insert it into an assembly, break the link or edit in place, you will have parameters.  If you Export it then open it from your local drive, you will have parameters.   Parameters that have been used cannot be erased.  Copy a component with parameters and then Paste New, you will still have parameters.  I cannot think of a way to remove the parameters without using the Derive function.  I will be curious if someone else has another method.

Do you have the option to "Paste New"?  If you do, you'll notice that the name will be different than if you just select "Paste":

When you click "Paste", the created object should, like the original, have a ":#" at the end of it - with # being an integer that is higher than the original object that you copied.  This indicates that the created object is a linked copy of the original, and that it will reflect any edits to the original, thus staying completely identical.

If you click "Paste New", the created object will still have a ":#" at the end of it; however, this time, there should also be a "(1)" at the end of the name before the ":#", and the # should be 1.  This indicates that you have created a completely new instance of the object that is not a linked copy, therefore allowing you to make changes to each one individually.

I hope this helps!

No I don't, where do I get such a nice feature?
