    I created a part "in context" in an assembly. Then I opened the part
    up in its own file. I broke the external references and thought that I
    went into the sketches and fully defined them. But I am still getting
    the >x (indicating that the ref. is broken.
    Well if I went into sketch and fully defined the sketch in its own
    part, why dont I get the -> for defined in-context?
    I thought I did it right.

    You may need to edit the sketch plane and pick a plane from the part
    file. If you created this part file incontext then you might have
    selected a plane or surface from the assembly. But moving this sketch
    to a different plane in the part file could also cause the part to
    move in the assembly.

    Broken refs are broken but still present in the sketch after
    breaking. Click the "Display/Delete Relations" button when the sketch
    is active to view relations. There is a drop-down box with filters
    for external, defined in-context, locked, and broken references.

  5. You need to be out of the sketch, and then RMB on the sketch feature in the
    tree. Select Edit Sketch Plane and pick the new one.
