There are a few CS articles non the process, but this is my simplified version.

 

  1. Name the standalone part to the new FT instance name
  2. Open the generic FT in Creo
  3. Create the new instance with same name as in step 1
    1. Set all to continue
  4. Remove the generic and instances from the workspace
    1. Uncheck the Erase object from CAD application
  5. Verify the FT and save it
    1. All items should show as new
  6. Add the standalone part to the workspace
    1. Check reuse modified workspace content
  7. Select Yes to Replace in Session for renamed object
  8. Check out the generic and instances
  9. Check in the generic and instances

I am not following your instructions.  Example I have  a stand alone cad part  "dog.prt" in Windchill   I have a family table generic "Animals.prt"  I need to add dog.prt to my existing family table.  You mention step 2.  Open the generic FT in Creo.  Step 3.. what do you mean Set all to Continue?  Then you mention step 4.  Remove the generic and instance from the workspace?  How did they get into the workspace you never mentioned a save operation?
