    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have &amp;nbsp;a challenge. I am using Inventor 2016.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of my customer gives me a complete assembly which consists of SheetMetal parts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This assembly is created in Solidworks and customer sends me in STEP format or sometimes sends in Solidworks format.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So here it comes the problem.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I need to open every part from assembly and convert into sheetmetal.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Later convert into flat pattern and dxf formats, then manufacturing process starts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This kills most of the time.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, is there any possibility wherein I need to run some VBA code or ilogic rule, so that all parts convert into sheetmetal automatically.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One more important thing, assembly may contains different thickness of sheetmetal parts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please help me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
