The command to do this is contained in the derived part component. It assumes you have a Part document open but could be changed to work with assembly's as well.

{code}

Dim oDoc As PartDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim part As DerivedPartComponent
Set part = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents.Item(1)

part.BreakLinkToFile

{code}

this pulls the first part referenced and breaks its link. you can code it to itterate through all referenece files by replacing the Item(1) with other code and to do assemblies by changing all the DerivedPart's to DerivedAssembly.

Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for your reply, and it did help me. Now I have another question for you. When I create a derived part or assembly, how to mirror it at the same time? thank you.
