Well, don't use that outside of a PTC PDM environment. I was pretty sure it would not work but I just verified it in WF4.

I use that method all the time.
A couple of years ago I had a ticket with PTC verifying this works and
causes no problems. Your assemblies will be fine as long as you remember
to save/check in what is no longer an instance.
Yeah, I wasn't specific enough that it works when using Windchill PDMLink.
To get it to work outside of a PDM environment, you'd have to have every assembly that uses that particular instance in session before you break it out of the family table. Then, once you break it out, regen and save each of those assemblies and it should work. Not really practical, so I'm not sure I'd count that as a real solution if you attempting it outside of Windchill.
