Moving Life Cycle-Managed Objects Between Contexts
If you create a life cycle template in a specific product or library and the template is not available in other products or libraries, then you cannot move any object that uses the life cycle template.
* 
For demonstration purposes, the Product Design template (available by default when you create a product) includes object initialization rules that set different default life cycle templates and versioning schemes for parts, documents, and CAD documents than are set out-of-the-box at the site level. This template demonstrates the use of simplified life cycles and state-based versioning. Unless you have overriding business practices that require unique rules, PTC recommends that if you want to use these features, you modify the organization or site object initialization rules and remove them from the Product Design template.
