Have a look at In Context Editing (ICE)

Have you tried doing an in-context? This will keep the para-metic links but, the links may not be required but could be a quick workflow.

Another option would be to export as a para-solid then re-import to a part studio. It sounds like you were exporting and importing as a stl.

When working with mesh data, the imported geometry can only be referenced, not modified. Can you provide a link to your document? Please be sure to share the document as public. Thank you in advance!
