SolidWorks Features defined in the context of another assembly

Problem: "This part has features defined in the context of another assembly. <file name>. you can edit the part, but cannot create any external references to the components of the current assembly."

1) If you want to free the parts from old assy then go to individual parts & edit them to remove all the external reference( to another assy).

OR

2)  Just click the check mark so that u can have multiple context.
     Toos==>options==>system options==.External Reference

Check off 'Allow multiple contexts for parts when editing in assembly'.
