Hi All,

Conversion is easily possible.

The uniform thickness will be the major issue here!

You can put this is a loop:

dim a as partdocument = thisdoc.document

Dim oRegAssy As String = "{E60F81E1-49B3-11D0-93C3-7E0706000000}"
Dim oWeldment As String = "{28EC8354-9024-440F-A8A2-0E0E55D635B0}"
Dim oRegPart As String = "{4D29B490-49B2-11D0-93C3-7E0706000000}"
Dim oSheetMetal As String = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}"

if a.SubType = oRegPart
	MsgBox ("Covert to Sheet Metal Part")
	a.SubType = oSheetMetal
end if
