the link you shared was not marked to allow download. Are the Form bodies in question closed, solid bodies?

thanks. I now have the model. There are a LOT of bodies here. Can you indicate which bodies are not available in the manufacture workspace? Is it that they are not there in the "Models" folder in the browser, or they are not recognized in CAM toolpath operations?

From a quick check, it seems that all of the Form bodies are there in the Models folder in the manufacture workspace.

I checked with the CAM team, and Form bodies are not recognized by the toolpath commands. So, if that is your problem, then you will have to convert the Form bodies to surface or solid bodies to have them recognized in toolpaths. In a parametric design, this conversion is done automatically, which is why it seems to work differently in that type of design.

is i let the model as it is all the bodies are unrecognized in the
manufacture tab, if i enable capture design history i attached a screenshot
for you to see wich body is hidden(body 318 for example )

Your screenshot did not seem to attach. When I open this model, and switch to Manufacture, I can see body318 in the browser, and in the scene as well:

turning off the rest of the bodies, it seems like body318 is OK:

i imported the sketch, that's why the conversion to solid from form body hasn't made automatically ?
