convert multiple pieces to sheet metal

[Mauro.So]

Good morning.
I did a part composed of various welded pieces.
Now I have the need to convert some bodies into sheet metal.
I made converts in sheet but allows me to bend one.
how do I select other dishes?
the command converts to sheet metal no longer appears active.

Thank you.

Thank you.

because you are working in one part file and until 2009 it is not possible to do multibody of sheet metal; single sheet metal body and all other normal extrusions, revolutions etc.
now in 2010 they have implemented this feature and multiple sheet metal parts have complete "multibody" functionality.
If you haven't updated, you should do a side file for each sheet and then mount it all in a set.

Thank you.

or you can export the bodies by creating a new part for each sheet metal body and add the fold insert function

I did so for all the pieces I needed.
Thank you.
