Helllo, the problem is...

Exemple: i have 4 documents, in each documents i have many diferents master components. I want to move all the master components from the differents documents to a new document (new document just for a master components) to organaise the work. 

If i do copy the masters components from the old documents and i move to the new document for a master components, paste and make it as a local component, i'll lose the link of each master component with their soon oweride components it had in the document it was. 

How i can do to move the master component to the new document but keeping the link of the soon components it have in the old document?

Thanks.

3 - Delete your design from original file.

This way you will have a separate file with master components for each of your designs. I know this is not what you were asking for, but this is the closest you can get.
