Is it possible to create a sheet metal part with multiple solid bodies? If not, put this at the top of my wish list!

[#2]

Yes and no.

Multi-body solids have been possible since release 2010.

You will have to use standard tools to create the sheet metal parts.

You will have to push-out the individual solids to get flat pattern.

Mike,

This is an enhancement request that we are very much aware of. We have this request logged in our wishlist database with number US5313.

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure why you even need to have a standard part and a sheet metal part. Why not have all the functionality in one part? I may be making it too simple but a single part that can do it all would be incredible!

I completely agree.  I actually create all of my parts in the multibody environment then export them out into the assembly so that I can create the flat pattern and maybe use a few of the sheet metal tools.  It would be so much easier if it could all be done in the multibody environment.
