Description
Creo 11 introduces full multibody support for the Sheetmetal Design environment. This enables the master model design use case where parts are designed in the context of a multibody part to then extract the individual bodies into separate parts. Use the Create Part from Body command to create a new sheet metal part from a sheet metal body.
• Use the 
Inheritance command to extract a sheet metal body.

◦ Supports the use of a regular flat pattern feature in the inheritance part.
• Use the 
Copy Geometry command to extract a solid body.
